How can I highlight a record in a historical document when it is spread over two images?

The document is from a marriage manuscript in Spanish (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DYM9-H2T). The record I am looking at begins on one image and finishes on the next page. The mother's surname is split over the two pages but it won't allow me to highlight the part of the name on the 2nd page. I know I have seen it on other documents but I don't know how to do it. Hope this makes sense.

    @marciekr Can you explain, please, what the highlight is for? Are you trying to edit the index and want to highlight the name to illustrate the index?

    If that is the case, you have the option to create a highlight, but it's not a requirement to save the edit. You can highlight the part on the page you are viewing or nothing at all.

    I found a death record whose first two lines begin on one image and continues on the next image. The given name of the father, which was written on the second image as Tedeo, was indexed incorrectly at Medeo. Although it was not necessary to highlight the correct name in the document in order to change it in the indexed record, nevertheless I would like to highlight it and attach it to the indexed record; however, I can not find a way to do this because it occurs on the second image. Is there a solution?

    @Italiano_per_matrimonio If you are trying to do any kind of editing in a family that stretches across two images on the record, this Set of Instructions may help. The process is not what I would call easy, so if you have questions come back and I will try to walk you through it.
