The one I'd talked about was the Random House Webster's Unabridged at http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/results.pperl?title_auth_isbn=webster%27s+unabridged+dictionary It is the CD version, about $20 and the equivalent of the 2,256-page hardcover.

Well, a standard desktop dictionary contains about 110,000 words with definitions and is about 800 pages. However, the UTD also includes sentences using each defined word in context, for every "sense (meaning)" of the word. PL] Is this feature in the demo? If yes, I cannot find it. Try the following words hubris Bowdlerize definition exquisite Finally, the lookup word combo box does not seem to support copy and paste? I have tried pasting text into it and nothing happens.
