Hello, Harry. Where can you get the free version of word web? I would like to try it since I love looking up things in the dictionary. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is the free version that can be downloaded. In this version the first thing to appear is the edit box or edit field when the wordweb application is first opened.

The version of word web that I have has no edit box. Which version do you
have? Is it the free version that can be downloaded? Judith

I type in the word I wish to look up in the edit box. Then I tab to the
search button and press the spacebar. Next I tab until I read the
definition or definitions and finally I just continue tabbintg a couple of
more times until I get into the list of synonyms. To close the
application 
I tab to the close button and press the spacebar, and I am finished.
