Hi kraemder,
just to clarify, this article from Chinese StackExchange describes the difference between a 字典 (character dictionary) and a 词典 (word dictionary) in the following way:
chinese.stackexchange.com
Almost all larger Chinese-English dictionaries that are available through Pleco are both 字典 and 词典, i.e. they contain both character and word definitions.
Hope this helps,
Shun

What's the difference between 词典, 辞典, and 字典?
I don't think they are necessarily different kinds of dictionaries, but is there a subtle distinction? Or maybe their etymologies?
