IBooks Highlite

Cool. I just discovered that it remembers what highlighter you last used. I believe I may become fond of the red underliner.

Giggle. You sound like a teacher Mikel!

Not me! I like kids well enough, but large mobs of them are scarrrrrryyyyyy.

I just think it does the job without being quite as loud about it. If they had a blue underline I'd like that even better.

Well, you can imagine that being 5' 2", these teenagers are all taller than me by the age of 16 years old and I'm telling them what to do. Puts my job into perspective doesn't it?

And, after messing about with it more for this post, I found it does not matter how long you press your finger down. As long as you do not lift your finger off the glass, you will get the highlighter as you move your finger on the glass.

I think the key here is the release action:

1) Press/hold/release = get pop-up (with handles)
2) Press/hold/drag = get highlight that follows dragging finger

Holy ^*¥]*#%^+%#{ finally. Just when you think you've tried every combination ... Confirms once again that the more I know, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Phew! Glad you got it sorted.

It's just so hard trying to give examples over the Internet, you know? In person is ever so much better ... and easier! :)

Regardless, glad we could help.

I have nothing but respect for teachers. It's much more than just being able to do a lesson plan.
