It does too exist in the contextual menu in Word. 'Define' is right at the
bottom. The other way to get to this is to select 'Dictionary' in the Tools
menu of Entourage or Word or Excel. It's a new Encarta Dictionary that lives
in Proofing Tools of the Shared Applications folder of the Microsoft Office
2001 folder. It's lots of fun. It's not the same thing as the Spelling
Dictionaries (as in "Change Dictionary�" , very confusing, yes). It's not in
OE5.
