Default access to English Dictionary: Desktop, Word, Outlook?

How can I set up access to an English dictionary to look up meanings of words
from articles on the Net, or to access a dictionary in Word, or Outlook. And,
can a dictionary be added to the toolbars of Word or Outlook? Can a
dictionary be added to my desktop? If so, what is the
procedure to do so in Windows Vista Home Basic?

With your cursor in the word, use Shift+F7. This will open the Research
Toolbar where you can select your proofing source.
