Logos vs. Verbum Factbook

Sean

I principally use Logos but have a few Verbum base packages from the various L# versions.

Today I was looking for information on St. Valentine and decided to start with Factbook. It only pulled up one dictionary article for me. I do have a number of Catholic dictionaries as well as works such as Lives of the Saints, but they didn't come up in the Factbook entry.

Question: do you have these automatically populate your Factbook in Verbum? If so, that seems somewhat of an artificial limitation to put on Logos. Is there any workaround other than installing Verbum parallelly?

Don't ask and I won't rant. But since you asked -- Most of the books of saints don't even have the saint names as headwords. However, even if they were appropriately indexed, the links to Factbook require some manual alignment. I believe they have yet to finish all the dictionaries and encyclopedias which have priority.When I look for Saint Valentine I find a personal name but no person ... in short, this is one aspect of why the Saints calendars are so messed up.
