Word, Highlighted Text, Right Click, Look Up not an option?

[Guest]

I had to reinstall Word, which was done from a Micrsoft Office Professional
Edition disk. I know after entering text I could highlight a word and right
click and have the option "Look UP", which would then look up the word in my
word dictionary. I no longer have this option and can not figure out what is
wrong, or how to get it back.

SteveLuckyOne,
You can't reset a right click menu but you can add an option if you want.
Choose Tools - customize - tab toolbars - put a check next to quick menu's
(not sure about the wording here). Click on a category on the toolbar that
has appeared, probably text, in the list that appears click on the item you
want to add to, probably spelling. Now click on the tab Commands of the
dialogue customize, choose the appropriate category select LookUp and drag
it to your quick menu.
Hope I have been clear enough, I have the Dutch version here so I had to
improvize as to the right words.

This did not help, My problem is something to do with my dictionary setting?
The directions youy gave have no dictionary settings in them.
Thanks Anyway maybe you can clarify after This information.

Mind you the option does not turn up in the context menu when there is no
internet connection!!
Works for me here Word 2003, I found LookUp in a few context menu's.
Difficult for me to translate but the most obvious was text. The Lookup
command can be found on the commands tab, choose the category All commands.
When you click on LookUp it brings up a taskpane Research.
