Action Point:

1. Add "Power Lookup" as an option in Reading View.

---

It would be a great combination to have the "Power Lookup" tool available when using "Reading View".

It would make it more readable and give it more of the feel of a book, with the text all there at a glance without needing to touch the mouse, hover over links, etc.

    Agree this would be good. 

    The closest work around is

    1. to force the resource you want to put into reading view into a floating window

    2. drag power look up onto floating window.. it will show up as tab

    3. F11 to move into reading view

    4.  You will still have the two tabs at the top so you can switch between the two using mouse

    I know this is not really what you are looking for...what it does is highlight the lmiatation sof what you can do with L4 as it stands in terms of this sort of configuration. 

    Simarly one should be alble to open visual markup in reading view in simlar manner to which you want pwoer lookup to open and be workable in reading mode.

    Another solution would be to float both a book and Power Lookup, into the same window, and then maximize that floating window. Then you've have control over how much space was given to each, etc.

    Now, that's really cool. I like it. Thank you Bob.

    Thank you Bob!

    That works nicely once it is set up. It may be nice to have that automated as part of the reading view, since many will not figure that out (and won't be reading the private beta group, or the forums at all for that matter).

    I realize it may not be a number one priority program addition at this point, but would be nice once bigger issues are worked out and more refining is being done.
