Question about the Information tab

David P. Moore

I like having the Information tab displayed so that I can click on an unfamiliar word to immediately see its definition. However I've noticed that it only finds the first dictionary in my prioritized list that has the word, and displays just that definition. I've had to redo my prioritzed list to get the behavior I want in that tab since it seems to only want to display a definition in the first prioritied book that has it, then no more. Is that a fixed behavior, or is there a setting I can change?

For example, I'd like the see the entry for my selected word from Collins, from my thesaurus, and my pronunciation dictionary.

Not many options for this tool.

 

You could do what you want using a custom Bible Word Study Guide and using the right click menu and the Selection tab:

 

 

My custom Bible Word Study Guide is named Dictionary Look-up and looks like this:

 

 

Create a collection with just the resources you want to look things up in and select that under the Definition item. My collection consists of Bible dictionaries.

Here's what my results look like:

 

 

Unfortunately you only see one result (in brief), and clicking on a link opens the dictionary which might not be what you'd like it to do.

That's the best I can offer.
