Hi,
Well, Keith’s method didn’t work for me either, but, there was an update to the
Yosemite 10.3 Beta, and after installing it, both methods now work — pressing
command-control-D or selecting the word, pressing VO-Shift-M to bring up the
context menu and then arrowing down to “Look up”.
I guess that’s what happens when you run Beta software! Ha ha.
Are any of you guys running the beta version of Yosemite?
Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions!
Russell
