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.

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,
