You’ll notice there’s still a bullet point and a location number listed at the end of each highlight. You’ll do a find and replace for each of these phrases (individually, because for some reason it won’t work when they are all strung together like iBooks does).

I haven’t figured out how to remove numbers in Pages, so here it’s easier to use Word.

That’s it! Your iBooks highlights are nice and formatted. Again, put just one paragraph mark in the replace box. Likely it will be two paragraph marks instead of three. Do this again for areas where it seems there is still too much space. Then in replace, put one paragraph mark (or ^p for Word). It should display a few paragraph marks in Pages or a string of ^p in Word. You’ll need to do this for each chapter and date (preferably copy and paste them together, which may mean more copying and pasting upfront, but less deleting extra spaces in the future, as you’ll soon find out.)Ĭopy the gaps of space between the highlights and paste that into the find. I change the first instance to “Chapter 1: Mind the Gap” and then copy and paste the next instance, along with the date highlighted, into the find and replace box. (If you want to save the first instance of the chapter title for future reference, just change the title name from Chapter Nine to Chapter 9 or vice versa, depending on what the default format is).įor example, that’s what I’m doing with Kevin DeYoung’s The Hole in Our Holiness. The chapter title format is, “Chapter One: Minding the Gap”. With iBooks, copy and paste the date and chapter title together and put it in Find portion of the box. In Pages you’ll see replace below the find box, and in Word just click Replace at the top of the dialog box.

(Moms, to use Find and Replace, open a document editor like Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, Text Edit, etc.) To open the find and replace dialog, hold Command – F on a Mac or Ctrl – F for Windows. For the OCDįind and replace will save your life here. Let’s cut out all of that extra stuff and make them presentable. However, they have all kinds of formatting junk around them.

I don’t know how to do this on anything but an iPhone or iPad, so if you can access iBook highlights some other way feel free to share.

If you are just looking to get all of your notes and save them in a document, PDF or paper copy (because you hate trees and have filing cabinets from the 1980s) here’s the quick and dirty process.

Since I’m a fanatic when it comes to organization and digital hygiene, this is not acceptable (more on how to fix that later). Unfortunately, Amazon and Apple don’t make saving your notes in a clean format simple.

I still prefer physical books to eBooks, but one thing I love about eBooks is having all of my notes and highlights already digitally documented.
