Don't use it myself, but IIRC, this is a very well documented bug that has
yet to be fixed... In fact, you're one of the lucky ones. For most it
doesn't work even when it sticks around
You might consider using the Research Task Pane instead or just Rt-Click the
word in question & select Lookup from the shortcut menu.

My dictionary icon keeps disappearing from my toolbar. I will use the
Word
program for weeks, and then, all of a sudden, it's just gone!! I haven't
changed a thing, I don't understand why it keeps going away! Last time I
ended up having to do a system restore to get it back, I couldn't get it
back
no matter what I did with the toolbar. I don't want to have to redo my
whole
toolbar again, I just want my dictionary back! Can anyone help?
