I have been using a macro to open the Oxford Dictionary on the button bar in
Word 2003. The dictionary would open in a small window and if you double
clicked the word it would put it into the dictionary. I have just had a new
computer and upgraded the version of the dictionary. I am running Windows
Vista (oh how I hate Vista !!!) I changed in the macro cod10 to cod11, but
it will not open the dictionary and throws up an error message, then when I
went to start the dictionary it just appeared as a minimized documents at
the bottom of the screen. You could right click it and it you maximized it
of course it would then fill the screen. Eventually I managed to get it to
work again on the desktop but not in word. Does anyone have any ideas how
to alter the code to get it to work. Would be grateful for some help
please.
