VII. TROUBLESHOOTING
USING WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD DICTIONARY AND THESAURUS'S
TEXT GRABBING SYSTEM
Webster's New World Dictionary and Thesaurus 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
or graphics for text display, such as CorelDraw 8.
In these instances, you can still use Webster's
New World Dictionary and Thesaurus by choosing
words manually in the Webster's New World Dictionary
and Thesaurus main window.
USING WORD 6
In this version of Webster's New World Dictionary
and Thesaurus, if you are using the program
with Word 6, the Webster's New World Dictionary
and Thesaurus 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".
