Chances are that when writing a document or reading one you will stumble on a word that you do not recognize or unsure how to spell. WordWeb is a free download that when installed will allow you to display the definition and synonyms of any word in any document (on or off-line). Simply hold the Control key + right mouse click the word and the WordWeb Window pops up with the definition.
“This thesaurus/dictionary can be used to look up words from almost any program. In addition to displaying sense definitions and synonyms, WordWeb can find sets of related words. The database has more than 150,000 root words and 120,000 synonym sets, many proper nouns, pronunciations, and usage tags. WordWeb works off line, but when online you can also quickly view Web references such as the Wikipedia encyclopedia.” (CNET Download.com)
