I do a fair bit of writing, both letters and fictional pieces, and one thing
I often find myself doing is visiting a website such as dictionary.com to
look up the details of a word. Perhaps it's a word I've come across and want
to verify its exact meaning/definition, check for alternate spellings, see
its pronunciation etc., basically view all the info commonly found in a
quality dictionary, without all the page flipping. What if you were to
integrate a 'Word Info' feature into the MS Word program that would access an
online database and provide such information? There could be an open field
integrated into one of the top toolbars in which you could type a word to get
a full definition, and alternately it could be a right-click option over
words already included in text. A small window could open, (or a drop down
box of some sort) to display the information.
Perhaps dictionary.com or one of the other databases would be interested in
co-operating with such an idea. Also, because these databases are constantly
updated the end user would have constant access to the latest word
information available, just by using your product and being connected to the
internet.
