Offline Dictionary Use
I currently use Microsoft Office 2007. For Word 2007, I am unable to use the
english dictionary when I am offline. Is there a way to be able to view the dictionary offline, possibly with a download? I can view translations and the thesaurus offline, but when I try to look up a word it says to go online. Thanks |

Offline Dictionary Use
Hi Alger,
Word has a limited thesauraus capability built in. The services in the Research task pane (Review=Research) are connected online resources. There are 3rd party dictionary/reference products you may want to investigate. ============= "alger111" wrote in message ... I currently use Microsoft Office 2007.

Offline Dictionary Use
Hi Alger,
The references accessible via the Research pane are an on-line service indeed: the monolingual dictionaries (with definitions, etc) are in fact the Encarta dictionaries (for English, French, etc). They are included in the Encarta products, so it is entirely possible to access them when you are working off line if you have the Encarta encyclopedia.
