research while using word 2007
I just read a review about the next iteration of apple's pages:
At present, Pages features a virtually identical interface for both standard document creation and more advanced publishing, but Version 3 will divide these two capabilities into separate Word Processing and Layout modes. Apple will also integrate its Spotlight meta-searching functionality into Pages, and is considering building in Wikipedia and Google integration so that writers will not have to leave the program when performing research. This seems a very attractive feature. I hope Office incorporates something similar, obviously with windows live search instead of Google. It's an enormous advantage. When I write articles I have to constantly leave word and search separately on the internet. It's very inconvenient. dennist685 ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

research while using word 2007
This feature is already present in Office 2003, and it continues
unchanged in Office 2007. It's called "Research". Hold down the Alt key while you click any word in a document. You have your choice of looking up the word in an online dictionary or thesaurus, or searching for it in any or all of a number of web services. You can choose which research services are available. Click the Research Options link at the bottom of the Research task pane. The option that's labeled "MSN search" now redirects to Live Search. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

research while using word 2007
Look Up (right click anywhere in the document) is a commendable first effort,
but users can't create their own 'reserch service' containing THEIR desired reference information, corporate knowledge base, etc. unless they also spend $30,000 on a Sharepoint Portal Server setup!!! Get real! Why can't we simply have the option of pointing "Research Service" to our own set of HTML documents in a folder somewhere on our own network server (or local PC)?
