IVP Bible Background Commentary NT

I don't know if it is a beta problem or a resource problem, but many of the links in the book are not working. For instance, in the article Romans 4:1-22 Abraham made righteous by faith, many of the links show the tool tip only, indicating the reference, and not the pop up containing the information. In the first sentence, only proselyte and Gentile have the pop up. All of the other words just give a tool tip for the Pocket Dictionary of Apologetics and Philosophy of Religion.

“... every day in which I do not
penetrate more deeply into the knowledge of God’s Word in Holy Scripture
is a lost day for me. I can only move forward with certainty upon the
firm ground of the Word of God.”

    I'm not able to reproduce this in 4.0a SR-3. I'll have to bring that resource over to my test system to test in 4.0b Beta.  I'm curious whether anyone else is seeing the same thing.

    Thanks,

    Yeah I have the same problem with it.  The words aren't tagged properly, I don't think. 

    When I roll over "circumcision", I get a tool-tip (not a pop-up) that has "Circumcision (Theological Terms)" in it.

    And when I click on "circumcision", it doesn't keylink, but instead
    it brings up a blank Power Lookup window with "Circumcision
    (Theological Terms)" as the search instead of just "circumcision".

    (once again causing me to ask why the Power Lookup window is activated when a keylink fails [:)] )

    EDIT: the problem is also in the IVPBBC OT as well.

    FWIW, after doing a rebuild index, the problem persists. I hope this is something that can be corrected. The cross linking is an important feature of these resources.

    I'm able to reproduce this in the 4.0b Beta. The odd thing is that I have the same exact book file in 4.0a SR-3 and some of the words, such as 'circumcision', 'model', and 'faith' are not linked at all. Those are the links that have the problems in the beta. I will report this.

    We've rebuilt the affected books and have published them (2.7MB download). Once you get the updated resources, the links should start working.

    Downloaded and is indexing. As long as I don't do a merge index, I should be good, right?

    Sigh. This is a problem again.  I guess it may have been fixed at some point, but it's broken again for me. And I see that it's occurring throughout the IVP dictionaries. I've seen it in the IVPBBCNT, the IVPBBCOT, the New Dict. of Theology, and the New Dict. of Biblical Theology, but I'm guessing it may be a problem elsewhere, too

    What happened?

    Hi All,

    I have just checked the recent posts and saw this thread.

    I am having the same problems on the Mac Alpha - though I was highlighting problems with the opening of Revelation.
