How to prioritize a dictionary

Maybe you good folks could give me a bit of help with this one. Let's suppose I bring up Gen 1:1 ( or any OT passage) in the passage guide (not the command bar) - when this comes up in three panes let's say, the Interlinear gives me Strongs for the Dictionary. I've prioritized my Dictionaries in Library to TWOT - but still Strongs is the Dictionary that keeps showing up at the bottom of the Interlinear. Can one or more give me help to get Strongs out of the way and get another Dictionary of my choice at the bottom of the Interlinear. Hopefully when (and if) I wake up in the morning, help will have arrived. Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, Strong's and Louw-Nida numbers are the only ones available for the bottom of the Interlinear. You can right click on the labels for the rows to see what is available for you to turn on. Here it is with them all turned on. There's no TWOT number available, as it hasn't been encoded into the interlinears:

EDIT: Forgot to mention that's the same whether you're using the interlinear panel at the bottom of the tile or the inline interlinear display:

Bootjack ... recognizing that Strongs numbers can only go to Strongs-based dictionaries, the simple way around this, is that when you're studying, keep your TWOT linked to the top-prioritized Strongs dictionary (both showing, so you can glance quickly at TWOT). That way TWOT will happily jump to your strongs number.

I typically keep all my major lexicons open/linked because often a right-click over a word doesn't bring up my favorite lexicon (there's a limit of five but 'which' five bounces around depending on the word).

Rosie, thank you for clarifying this for me. Appreciate the pictures showing me what's going on.

Denise, let me see if I'm following you. I've just woken up (I think) so I'm still partially in neutral. Let's say I right click on the Lemma or the strongs number, I see a list of Dictionaries that I can open. I see TWOT, so I click on that. That brings up TWOT beside the commentary. Is this what you are referring to? Sorry for being a bit thick, but I'll appreciate your being patient and giving a bit more advice, either you or Rosie - or others of course. Thanks!!!

Screenshot shows two Bibles linked together (using Link Set A) and 5 Dictionaries linked together (using Link Set D). In the ESV (displaying Reverse Interlinear inline with Strong's #'s), clicking on a Strong's # causes all 5 Dictionaries to change:

Ok - I wish you to keep smiling as I ask you to give me the instructions for the following please ---

1) From scratch, show me how (what you mean by) to link two Bibles together. In my search right now, when I type in a word, four different translations come up. Does this come close to what you mean here?

2) Then can you inform me as to how to open the 5 Dictionaries together

3) A step by step would be appreciated, or a video that shows me how to do such.

If this is too difficult a request, simply pretend you do not see it. :-}

Here are instructions on how to "link" two resources together (so they are both open simultaneously and scroll in tandem):

http://wiki.logos.com/Linking_Resources

That should answer the question for both Bibles and Dictionaries for you.

Also, how to arrange them in "layouts" (that is, nice tiled windows on the screen) like you saw in Keep Smiling's screenshot is covered in these videos:

There's a Tim Horton's one block from my house. I could walk there right now and treat myself and consider it your gift to me. [:)]

The only thing is, it has a Cold Stone Creamery in the same shop (they've combined businesses) and I usually prefer to go for ice cream rather than a donut(*). Yeah, I know. I'm not a true Canadian. My American ex-pat colors show through...

(*)What??!! Donut isn't in the Firefox spellcheck dictionary, but donuts is? [And spellcheck isn't in the spellcheck dictionary either, but spellchecker is. Go figure.]
