Word by Word Report

I'm wondering if it wouldn't make sense to bring the features of the Bible Word Study report into the Word by Word report? It would make for far less redundancy in terms of user work flow. Usually I find that if I'm doing an exegetical report with the Word By Word report, a Bible Word Study report isn't far off. I've put together a quick mock up below to give a better idea of what I'm thinking. I would think that the lemma report should be a given (with the count graph), and then each further tab defaults to being closed so a user isn't prohibitively slowed down as each individual section runs for each word. Having each word run a full word report every time would be very time consuming, but having the option to grab that information would be most welcome.

One other thing that needs to be added to the word by word report, a close button to get rid of words similar to in v3. Right now you can add words, but can't take them away.

Craig,

You CAN make a custom template with these two elements in it and save it to be your default or whatever....

The new custom guide chooser is very flexible in what goes into it.

Robert, I might be missing something but right now the Word by Word guide is based on the Bible reference parameter, and the Word study guide is based on a Bible Word reference parameter. Unless I'm missing something, creating a custom guide in this case won't do quite what I'm looking for. Right now the Word by Word report takes a given passage and for each word in that passage it pulls a truncated lemma report but nothing else. I say truncated because if you compare the word by word report results with the lemma report results of a word study guide you'll see that the lemma report contains all the information the word by word report contains plus the word count bar graph. But since the Word by Word guide is already passing a word reference type to a truncated lemma report, why not also be able to pull in the other items from the Word Study template?

Right now, with the way the word by word report is set up, if there is a word I want to find out more about, such as the word's septaugint translation, I have to run a seperate word study report on that word. But why couldn't that information just be included in Word by Word report alreay so that I just have to twirl down the appropriate section and grab that information?

Craig...whoops...I see what you're saying now...my mistake....
