Word 2002 Dictionary Lookup function
When I open a new document, the icon for the Dictionary Lookup function is on
the top right, but after a while it disappears. Which menu do I use to access it, and why does it disappear? Thanks. |

Word 2002 Dictionary Lookup function
Hi ?B?Vmlja2lhdG10bg==?=,
When I open a new document, the icon for the Dictionary Lookup function is on the top right, but after a while it disappears. Which menu do I use to access it, and why does it disappear? Word, out-of-the-box, doesn't have a "Dictionary Lookup" button. So I'm guessing this may be some kind of add-in that's unloading or being blocked. When you start Word, is the button there? And if you hold down CTRL when starting Word (Safe Mode), to use the installation defaults, is the button gone? What does the button do when you click it? Please give a detailed description so that we can recognize whether the functionality is part of Word, or an Add-in.

Word 2002 Dictionary Lookup function
The icon is visible when I open Word. When I open in safe mode, the icon is
not there. The function allows you to look up the selected text in a dictionary without leaving Word or your document.

Word 2002 Dictionary Lookup function
This functionality is almost certainly provided by an add-in, such as

Hi ?B?Vmlja2lhdG10bg==?=,
The icon is visible when I open Word. When I open in safe mode, the icon is not there. The function allows you to look up the selected text in a dictionary without leaving Word or your document. In that case, we're certainly dealing with an Add-in, and something is causing the Add-in to unload. The question is, what might that be. And in order to determine that, we have to find out what kind of Add-in we're dealing with. My bet would be a COM Add-in, and perhaps one programmed using .NET. If you have more than one Add-in programmed in .NET there's a possibility that one is failing, and taking the other down with it. So... The next time this happens to you, go to Help/About. In that dialog box you should see a button "Disabled items". Click that and tell us what (if anything) you see listed there? When I open a new document, the icon for the Dictionary Lookup function is on the top right, but after a while it disappears. Which menu do I use to access it, and why does it disappear? Word, out-of-the-box, doesn't have a "Dictionary Lookup" button. So I'm guessing this may be some kind of add-in that's unloading or being blocked. When you start Word, is the button there?
