Mind you... Word's spelling "dictionary" isn't a dictionary at all. It
doesn't give full word definitions, pronunciations, etc. Depending on which
version of Word you have, however, actual dictionary capabilities are
provided. Press the Alt key and click on the word in question, or
right-click the word in question and choose Look Up, if it's available.
These actions bring up the Research panel, which provides access to several
actual dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other references. This works in Word
2003 and 2007. I don't know about earlier versions.
 
If, what you're looking for, are definitions and the like then I highly
recommend a great little program called WordWeb. There's a free version and
there's a paid Pro version. The free version lasted about 30 seconds on my
computer before I upgraded to the Pro version.
