WinXP PRO/IE latest version
On the right click menu I used to have a Dictionary entry allowing me to
lookup a word in a Dictionary. For some reason it disappeared and I don't
know how to get it back.
Any advice?
Thank you.

Karel

Hi Karel :-)

You can take a look here and see if this would do what you wish. It is the
Merriam-Webster On-Line Dictionary for IE. It will place a toolbar on the
IE menus by going to View>Toolbars and checking the Merriam-Webster
Dictionary, or.... you can simply access the Dictionary and/or Thesaurus
from the right mouse click.

I also use the free IESpell as well

Hope this helps :-)

Hi Karel :-)
Thank you both. I ended up installing the Dictionary Bar.

Try any online web/internet based dictionaries?

http://www.seekerific.com/spelling-check.asp is a dictionary and spell
checker in one tool, unlike other dictionary sites (that only let you
search one single word at a time), you can enter upto 5 words with this
tool!

http://www.dictionary.com lets you search single words.

http://www.sirseek.com/thesaurus.asp is a thesaurus and similar word
suggestor in one web based utility! Let's you input multiple words too!

http://www.thesaurus.com lets you search single words.

http://www.best-toolbar.com has a great toolbar to help searching for
this kind of stuff too (even encyclopedias).

Thanks, http://www.WHAK.com
