Build a custom Bible Word Study guide to show definitions in multiple Dictionaries or Lexicons.
This will open your prioritized dictionary or lexicon where the word is found.
It will not open multiple resources
- But it will allow you to use your mouse to hover over the different dictionaries or lexicons to see the definition of your word.

The following steps will guide you in building this custom BWS Guide.

In the top menu, click on Guides.
In the drop down menu, click on Make a new guide template.
