Hi there folks,

In my version, MS Office Word 2003, r-clicking brings up the choices of
"Look Up..." and "Synonyms". "Look Up..." launches the Research window (the
button is also on the toolbar). Here, I find Encarta dictionary is available
only on line. Depending on the word I r-click, the Thesaurus may or may not
list other word choices. Definitions? Pronunciation? Nope.

I miss MS Bookshelf 98 where one could select a word to get its definition
(in an instant!) and one could even choose to hear how it is pronounced. I
used it quite often.

I still have the MS Bookshelf 98 CD. Hmmm, I wonder if Bookshelf 98 would
run in WinXP Pro? And if it needs Word to operate? And, if so, will Word
2003 work with it? Off to Google this...

Try right-clicking on the word, there should be a command for Define or
Look
Up Definition or somesuch (at least in my version...)
