I keep a backup of my books outside of Calibre, just in case.

I hope it works.

My first PC was a 80286. I think I had 1 MB RAM and 40 MB HDD. I remember when I heard that Windows was going to come out with a version that would directly boot at the GUI (no DOS command line), I thought "what? that's impossible, it can't be!". I was a kid.
I would suggest that the better way to do it would be to save the book you want to highlight in a "working" folder, make your modifications, save it, and then replace the book in calibre. (if the metadata etc is the way you like it you can drag and drop the revised edition on the original.)
