In various Office products that have to do with word processing or anything
to do with words (such as Word and Excel), when you hightlight something you
typed in, the context menu, along with the dictionary and thesaurus look-up
options, it should have a "Look Up In Encyclopedia Brittanica (R)" option
(and, of course, Office programs should come with an Encyclopedia Brittanica
software). I've wished this feature was in there lots of times, and I'm sure
sales would slowly but surely rise if you would bring this feature to a
might-be consumer's attention.

Except that it uses the Microsoft Encarta encyclopedia instead of
Brittanica, this feature is already in Office 2003. Please see

details.
