Word Web is an excellent program for those not looking for extended definitions of a word. Word Web does have dictionary entries for each word and a list of similar words or synonyms. I find it very helpful. Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If the person has an internet connection, online dictionaries work very nicely. Some here may suggest a mini application that's free called Word Web, but this is pretty primitive if what you want is a real dictionary and/or thesaurus. One URL is the obvious http:///www.dictionary.com and another to look at would be the online Merriam Webster at http://www.m-w.com/ Hope this helps.----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Campbell" <ray.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <VICUG-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 1:08 PM Subject: Accessible Dictionary 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.
