That also works for me, brings up the same options that Keiths' method does.
Mind you, my Dictionary is open I should close it and try again.

OK, closed my Dictionary and it still works, I use VO and right arrow to get 
the definition, then press exit to close the definition.

Hi everyone,

I am running Yosemite 10.3. I am having an issue when trying to look up the 
definition of a word. Here’s what I do…

1. Select the word I wish to look up the definition for.
2. Press VO + shift + M to bring up the context menu.
3. VO down arrow to “Look Up” and then press VO + space to choose this.

What happens is that there is a popover window that opens, , but I can do 
nothing with it. VO reads nothing in the popover. I hear a message saying to 
press escape to exit out of the popover. Pressing VO right or left arrow 
results in a sound, but that’s it. When I try to interact with the popover VO 
says, content is empty.

How can I look up the definition of a word using the built-in dictionary in 
Yosemite? Is there a built-in thesaurus as well?

Thanks for any ideas here.
