English-Greek Dictionary
Is there a simple way to quickly look up an English word within Logos as a sort of English-Greek dictionary?
I can do a Bible Word Study which is great, but sometimes I just want something quick and simple.
Right now, I use Google Translate although I have been eyeing some English Greek dictionaries on Community Pricing here (but it might be a while before they are available):
http://www.logos.com/product/15746/an-english-greek-dictionary
http://www.logos.com/product/15748/english-greek-dictionary-a-vocabulary-of-the-attic-language (Is Attic Greek close enough to Koine Greek for basic dictionary purposes?)
Am I missing the obvious?
And then an English-Hebrew would be nice as well...

Wonder about right click on an English word, then click selection, followed by clicking Lookup, Power Lookup, Bible Word Study, or a dictionary ?
Option: can search a collection of dictionaries and/or lexicons. Also, right click can quickly open a lexicon to desired lemma:
When a dictionary or lexicon is open, can find within resource and/or type in location:
Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary has many indexes so location drop down has many choices. Likewise, Right Click has several options for finding entries in Vine's: English headwords, Greek and Hebrew Lemma's, and Strong's numbers.
Personally have prioritized my Lexicons so resources without Strong Number indexing precede ones with Strong Number indexing so right click, then lemma has list of 5 lexicons while right click Strong's Number often has list of 5 different lexicons.
In an interlinear resource, personally prefer to display Louw-Nida #'s in New Testament so can hover mouse on Louw-Nida # for a pop-up with contextual range of meaning:

Thanks, Keep Smiling:
Some good tips and you gave me another idea. Open Websters Dictionary, which is much simpler to search than a Bible for that certain Word I want to look up. It also has all the word forms I might happen to use. Then right-click on the choice word and select Vines, etc. The Vines trick actually works pretty well.
A big improvement already.

Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words is a discussion lexicon about word usage. Thankful for a couple more discussion lexicons in my Logos library: "Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament" and "The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament"
For Greek lemma's, personally like "The Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament." since entry includes cognate words.
