I think I figured it out. It did indeed work when I triple-clicked a Greek word, but when I triple-click an English word the Mounce dictionary comes up with the GK number without the G, whereas the NIDNTT-A uses a G in front of the number. So this whole linking tip only works with tools that have Greek entries and only when I triple-click in the Greek text. OK.

"their" not "there" in my post above.

For those with smaller screens, try dragging one of them below the other instead of beside it.

Could you help me implement this? When I triple click an English word in a text the Mounce Greek Dictionary is my default. I tried opening other resources and linking to it but when I triple click a word in the text, they just sit there at there title pages.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what the exact space requirements are, but you may also want to raise the maximum number of zones. You can do this in Preferences >Appearance > Tabs and Zones > Default maximum zones. If it still won't allow the extra zones, then Accordance may require more screen space.

I have the same problem as Jane but on a 15" screen. The thing is, I can clearly see that there is more than enough space to add another column.

Hi, David, Many thanks. I'm using my 13 inch MacBook Air, which is perhaps the reason.

Hi Jane, this is somewhat dependent on screen space. Larger screens may be able to accommodate a few lexicons side by side, as you see in the video. Smaller screens may require lexicons to be kept in tabs. Either way, the LINK functionality will still work even if all are not visible side by side. For reference, I recorded the video on a 17" MacBook Pro. I also often use a 27" Cinema Display, which allows a great amount of flexibility when setting up Accordance workspaces.

Duuuuh, make that lexicons.

That works beautifully, except for one thing. When I try to arrange the lesicons so tht all are visible, I always get the message, "There is not enough space to move this item into the work zone or space." I am using the entire computer screen.

In all the time I have been using Accordance, it never occurred to me that I could link multiple resource tools to each other like that. Brilliant tip!

Glad to hear it, Russell.
