Is there a way to rapidly switch to Vines or Thayers from a word in a Bible

I notice that when I do a long press on a word in the NKJV a small list of information appears at the bottom of the page that includes the Strong's number.  I can also switch to a detail word study.  What I don't seem able to do is jump to a dictionary like Vines and have it open to the Strong's number.  Is this feature something that will be added in the future?

    The BWS Definition is based on your top lexicons as prioritised in desktop Logos 4, and not Strong's number. It is not planned as per the FAQ at http://community.logos.com/forums/t/34373.aspx so you have to do a manual lookup which will involve swapping resources and (for speed) having both books on the device.

    Thank you for the information.  I am rather new to Logos.  Can you tell me how to prioritize the Lexicons that are used?

    You cannot prioritise on Android. But prioritised resources do not sync reliably to Android so you are stuck with whatever was prioritised on the desktop when you installed the Logos app on Android. When you perform a Bible Word Study what lexicons are shown?

    For more on desktop prioritising see http://wiki.logos.com/Prioritizing

    When I Pull op Word Study the first thing I see is "Definition".  Under this category I get a brief definition followed by "Dbl Greek" in blue.  When I press on this I switch to what appears to be a more detailed definition.

    Is there another lexicon? That might relate to the base Library you have (Bible Study, Leader's?).

    DBL Greek provides good definitions and is more complete than Vine's for word study. So you should always prefer DBL Greek, DBL Hebrew and DBL Aramaic over Vine's (and Thayer's, Strong's and NAS Dictionary!).

    Thanks for the feedback.  I was not familiar with Dbl Greek.  It  does seem odd that word study would not follow the same format as passage study that shows the commentaries you have active, and show a list of your active lexicons.  Regardless The program seems to be a powerful package.
