The new version apparently uses no text, so I can get the version to say
literally nothing. I have an older one which is quite useable, but this
newer one does nothing. Let me add that there are several encyclopedias
newer than 2000 which are quite useful. They include World Book, Grolier's,
and Encarta. Maybe there is something I am missing with this Britannica
version, though I don't think so any longer. I put out this inquiry in
hopes that someone might have some information to the contrary, but
apparently not. It is unfortunate, because I would think that book would be
useful.
