VII.  TROUBLESHOOTING

USING WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DICTIONARY'S TEXT GRABBING SYSTEM

Webster's New World Dictionary uses Accent Software 
International's text-grabbing system to let you look up words
from other programs by clicking or pointing to them with your
mouse. In the following instances, the text-grabbing system
may not capture text:

*  You are trying to select a menu item in most 
   Windows 95 application.

*  You are trying to select words in an application
   that uses non-standard Windows 95 functionality
   for text display, such as CorelDraw 8.

In these instances, you can still use Webster's New World 
Dictionary by choosing words manually in the Webster's New
World Dictionary main window.

USING WORD 6

In this version of Webster's New World Dictionary, if you
are using the program with Word 6, the Webster's New World
Dictionary custom dictionary will not be installed as a 
Word custom dictionary.


VIII. NEW FEATURE - WILD CARD SEARCH

When doing a database search for a word you can 
use "wild cards". An asterisk ("*") will match any
sequence of zero or more letters; a question mark 
("?") will match any single letter. For example
"diction*" will find both "diction" and "dictionary".
"comput?" will find "compute" but not "computer".
