Dictionary Window

To display or hide the dictionary window, select Dictionary Window from the View menu, the Bible menu, or the Home or Bible task pane.

Dictionary Topic List

The dictionary topic list displays a list of each topic contained in the current Bible dictionary. Type in a topic, or select a topic in the list using the mouse or cursor keys to display the corresponding dictionary information.

Note: You can change the size of the Topic List by dragging the its bottom border up or down using the mouse. However you might notice that when you restart BibleSpeak the size is not remembered, and always takes up about half the height of the screen. This happens if BibleSpeak is displayed as “maximized” or full screen at the time you exit BibleSpeak. To prevent this from happening, click on the “Restore Down” button, , located in the upper right corner of BibleSpeak before exiting BibleSpeak.

Dictionary Toolbar

Print

Previous/Next Page

Dictionaries
Displays the list of available dictionaries. Select any dictionary in the list to display its contents. You can select a new dictionary by clicking on it with the mouse, or by using the cursor up and down keys. Note that you can resize the dialog containing the list of dictionaries and you can move it to another location on the screen so that it does not cover up the Dictionary window.



Note
: You can also display a list of available dictionaries, in the Task pane, by selecting Dictionaries from the Tasks menu.

The disadvantage of selecting dictionaries using the Task pane is that the current dictionary word or topic may not be preserved as you switch dictionaries.

Display Cited Verses

In many cases, verses cited in the Dictionary can be displayed by simply clicking on them with the mouse. These citations are usually indicated in a bluish/green color, such as Ro 4:6 and Ps 32:1, 2.  

To display all verses cited in the Dictionary click on the “Display Verses Cited in Text” button, . To display citations found in only a certain portion of the dictionary text, first select the text containing the citations you wish to view, before clicking on “Display Verses Cited in Text” button, .
