Question: Is there an easy way to print out a list of words with references?

I’m working with translators who have quite weak computer skills, so even though they have a computer, they work better when I can give them a printout rather than having them do everything on the computer. Recently we’ve been correcting spelling, trying to catch inconsistent spellings in their Bible. I can use various tools and filters to narrow down the list to just the words we want to check, which is fine as long as we are just using the computer. But if I want to print the list out, it becomes a hassle. I can print off the list of words - but that’s not always helpful, as he needs to actually look at the references to check the spelling in each place. Or I can print each individual word with its references, but that is rather tedious, especially when we have a lot of words we want to check. Is there a way to tell the word list to do something like “print all selected words with references”?

I would have thought that the menu item “Copy references to result list” would work with multiple wordlist entries selected (shift clicking). However, it only works with the active (most recently clicked) entry.

Unfortunately “Export XML” only exports the terms, their morphology, and their approval status without references.

This might have to be a feature request.
