Hi Kerri, You can access the dictionary either through typing in the first couple letters of it in spotlight search, accessed with command+space. Or, you can navigate to your applications folder with command+shift+A, interact with that, and browse to the dictionary app. Once in the app, you can navigate to the toolbar, interact with that, and go to the search field. Type in the word you wish to look up, and press enter. Then stop interacting with the toolbar, and navigate to the html area. In there, once you interact, you'll find your results. there's probably some other keystrokes that make jumping from the toolbar to the html area quicker, but vo+J doesn't seem to accomplish this, so please forgive the long way around explanation and keyboard action. Hope that helps some, Rachel On Jan 26, 2013, at 11:24 AM, Kerri <[email protected]> wrote:
