Hi, Try the free WordWeb Dictionary/Thesaurus. You can get it from http://wordweb.info. If run in the system tray, which is by default, it's smart enough to detect that you're using Word, and so therefore if you select text before activating the WordWeb hot key, Control Alt W by default, it will place that word into the lookup box ready for you to press enter and look up the meanings. Hope that helps. Chris Hallsworth BrailleNote mPower user Website: www.chrishallsworth.co.nr ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

I use to remember, in word, f7, is check spelling, shift/f7 was for thasaurous. that is gone now. the word thasaurous is no longer really as effective as it once was when jaws had that shift/f7 command in there. actually still, the word thasaurous wasn't that great. so, I sure would appreciate any ones help finding a program, easily accessable, works along with word being open at same time. thanks, J.
