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

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... -- Summer "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message .. .
