Hi, for clarity's sake, you need to type define, followed by a colon, followed by the word or phrase, with no space between the colon and the first character of the word or phrase. Hope that helps.

google is always a good source for a dictionary just type "define word to define" in the google search edit box and a definition will come up.

I realize this isn't what is being sought, but if your client can use
the Web, I would recommend an online dictionary such as dictionary.com
(a bunch of dictionaryies) or the unabridged www.m-w.com. For a niminal
fee, you get the latest, up-to-date dictionaries plus a plethora of
other features. The currentness (new word) alone, in my opinion, makes
this option preferable.

Hello All:

I received a call from someone that runs JAWS and is looking for an
accessible dictionary that he can install on his computer.  He bought
one from Best Buy and is not able to use it with JAWS, even using the
mouse keys.  So, if any of you have any suggestions for an accessible
dictionary that will work with JAWS and where to get it, please let me
know.

Thanks,
