"Define" option in MS Word XP

[Garry K. Rosengrant]

I have MS Office XP and MS EnCarta installed.
In previous versions I was able to obtain a "Define"
option by right-clicking on a word in an MS Word document.

How can I attain this functionality?

Please Help?!

Garry,

You should have an EWED.DOT (I think that stands for Encarta World
Encylopedia Dictionary) file in the Word Startup directory. This is what
puts the define command on the toolbar.

You might search for this file and move it to the Startup Directory or try
reinstalling Encarta.

HTH,

No Joy Greg,
There is no such file on my PC before or after the
reinstallation of MS EnCarta.

I have searched through all of the toolbars, tried Help,
but still no luck.

Any other ideas?

Garry,

I am not certain, but EWED.DOT might be hidden system file. You check in
Control Panel Folder Option to make sure show system and hidden files is
activated. If you still can't find it, I would have to redirect you to the
Encarta Newsgroup and see if some might have an answer.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
