From the Encarta dictionary:

"a figure of speech that draws a comparison between two different things,
especially a phrase containing the word 'like' or 'as,' for example, 'as
white as a sheet.'"

then Alt-clicking it to bring up the research pane! Is that cool or what?
 
The comparison of two unlike things using "like" or "as."

Have you tried it in Word 2002 (or earlier).
