Default Can't find dictionary in Word 2003, its not listed with other ref.

I'm trying to use the dictionary to look up definitions. The MS Online help
says to go to "Tools", "Research", then choose which dictionary you want to
use from the "reference books" menu. There are no dictionaries listed in the
"reference books" menu only "thesaurus" and "translation" are listed. It
seems like I have used previous versions of Word and have been able to find
the dictionary definition of a word.

Did you try clicking "Research Options" at the bottom of the Research
task pane and verify the dictionaries are added?
