How to Associate Other Resources With Bible Word Study?

I love the ability to "look up" a word and then open a Bible Word Study. However, resources such as TDNT and NICNTT are not available. Is there any way to link more lexical or dictionary resources to be available for this Word Study for the mobile app?

    Not on the mobile app, sorry.

    Okay, thanks. Just curious, how does it select the three resources it has: BDAG, Louw-Nida, and EDBL? I have other lexicons and wonder why it just chooses these?

    Jeff- Ideally, the list would be generated via your prioritized list within L5… but that hasn't been implemented yet. I honestly don't know where the list comes from. Recently someone showed me a list that surprised me. Go figure.

    Jeff,

    What others in this forum have done is to make a collection of their lexicons and then do a search within that collection for a given lemma.  It doesn't work perfectly but I have found a good measure of success this way beyond doing a Bible Word Study.

    Thank you for asking this question! I have the same question. I just upgraded to Logos 5 on Windows 7 and iPad. I realize this post is late.

    I did discover through searching the built in Help menu (windows version) for "Prioritize." That returned an entry named "Resource Priority." I followed these steps and now my Bible Word Study launches with the resources I have prioritized in primary positions in the study.

    I have copied the specific instructions here for your assistance. Hope that is helpful!

    Resource Priority
    Prioritizing your favorite English, Greek and Hebrew resources will ensure that the resources you refer to most often will be listed first when you click on a data type reference link, and use Search, Guides, and other tools.
    • Open Library from the main program toolbar.
    • Prioritize resources using step 1., or steps 2-3.
    1. Right-click on a resource title and choose Prioritize this resource from the context menu. (Note: If the resource is part of a series, you will also have the option to Prioritize this series.) This action will open the Prioritize pane.
    2. Click on Prioritize on the Library toolbar to open the Prioritize pane.
    3. Drag one or more preferred resources to that pane. (Note: When you drag a resource title that is part of a series, the whole series will be added. If you only want one, follow step 1. instead.)
    • Change the preferred order by dragging resources up or down in the pane.
    • Remove a resource by right-clicking on it and choosing Remove from this list.

    Hi Dana - and welcome to the forums.

    Thanks for posting these steps - for more information on prioritisation you might find the article at http://wiki.logos.com/Prioritizing useful

    I'm intrigued  - did you find that this affects the prioritisation of resources on the iPad apps? As far as I was aware that still hadn't been implemented.

    Thanks, Graham
