parallel resources button: odd, or no, choices

A few things:

Zondervan Encyclopedia of the Bible does not have a "parallel resources" button
International Standard Encyclopedia of the Bible (ISBE) does, but outside of Vines, Bible Thesaurus and Strongs (not to mention and NASB Concordance), it highlights English language Dictionaries (Merriam Webster, etc)
Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible, not shown in any of the above two resources' Parallel button (notwithstanding that ZEB doesn't even have the button), shows them, and several other Bible encyclopedias and dictionaries that you would expect.

This probably appeared in some thread already, but I haven't seen it.

Is this bad tagging? Incomplete? Why would ZEB not have it--it is wonderfully linked to resources like Josphus and other Logos-integrated works--with such careful and wonderful work already done, it would seem that adding parallel resources would be a piece of cake.

Zondervan Encyclopedia of the Bible does not have a "parallel resources" button

I don't have this but it is my experience when a dictionary doesn't show the parallel resources button it is because it is showing Page number in the navigation box and not the title of the article. If you typed in something like "Ephesus" and hit enter does the parallel resource button appear?

that did it, Kevin! Thank you. While I understand a bit "why" (page number vs. topic), I wonder if the resource couldn't be made to recognize the current topic, regardless if you have the page number showing in the index box (or whatever it is called).

That's a bug we're getting across to Logos - staying on Topic! You might notice some resources transition to page # when there is no topic eg. when a commentary gives a general intro to a book of the bible and then resumes with bible references. When L4 gets "confused" it reverts to page # and is very hard to get back to a topic. That's the bug.
