Jonna Schmidt Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hi, this is probably very basic, but here is my problem. I don't know Greek or Hebrew, so after purchasing BDAG and HALOT modules (which are VERY VERY HELPFUL), I want those to be my default dictionaries for Greek and Hebrew "triple clicks". I thought that by dragging these resources to the top of the library pane, that would make these two resources my default when I triple click. I am still getting the NAS Greek and NAS Hebrew respectively. Since I don't know Greek or Hebrew, it is a real pain to then enter the greek/Hebrew term into BDAG and HALOT. Is there a way to resolve the problem such that BDAG is my default Greek dictionary (when I triple click) and HALOT is my default (when I triple click)? Thanks for any help. I went through the help sections, but I must be missing something very basic, anyway, I appreciate any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I'm afraid you cannot set up BDAG and HALOT as the defaults for a triple-click from a Key number text. These translations always link to their own Key dictionary. Triple-click to other Greek and Hebrew dictionaries only works from the original texts themselves. here's what you can do: Purchase the original texts which are fully parsed, and will cross-highlight with your keyed texts, and triple-click from there.or Option-amplify from a word selection in a keyed text to your chosen lexicon (no need to type in the search term).or Triple-click the keyed text to get the Key dictionary then triple-click the original word given to open your top lexicon. I trust this is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust this is helpful. The third option here will probably be the most effective without purchasing anything. Option-amplify is the fewest number of steps, but often times there are multiple words for a key number and they all may not be in the title/entry field of the lexicon, and Acc will act like there aren't any hits. Here's a couple screen shots to illustrate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonna Schmidt Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 thanks, that works extremely well. Both options actually work very well. Even though I do not read Greek or Hebrew, I have those texts and even have them open, and I see that by triple-clicking in a Hebrew or Greek text, HALOT or BDAG opens. I also tried your option which works great. Thank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
