Is there another dictionary/thesauarus program for Word?

[zmusashi]

Does anyone use or recommend a dictionary program to import into Word
2004 (for Mac)? I wonder if there are better, more inclusive
diciontaries than the one that Word comes with, and if they could be
imported in and used. Thanks!

I'm not aware of anything that's "better".

I am also not aware of any that can be "imported" into Word. There are some
that can be used outside of, or in addition to, the included dictionary.
But none gives the capability for dynamic and continuous spelling or the
ease and speed of the internal dictionary.

What improvement were you most hoping to make?

Cheers

I just hoped there might be a bigger, more inclusive dictionary. But
you know what, it's pretty darned good. Thanks a lot.
