Hi Russell,
The way I have looked up words for some time now is, while you are on the word,
press command-control-d and a window will open which will give you a number of
choices of what you want to know about the word, dictionary, Wikipedia and
more. It seems to work in most docs and some times in e-mail.
This is a great way to look up a word.
