Re: Dictionary and Thesaurus

Duane,

I use www.Merriam-Webster.com They have a dictionary and Thesaurus...and the
definitions are more complete. With Windows 7 I keep the site up on half the
screen, while I'm writing on the other half...I didn't invent it...but...I
LOVE Windows 7...!

Subject: [GWL] Dictionary and Thesaurus

For decades the Microsoft Bookshelf CD-ROM in one iteration or another, the 
latest being Bookshelf 2000, has sat almost permanently in my D drive with 
an easily accessible not-so-bad dictionary and thesaurus. Highlight a word 
in any application, click the icon in the Toolbar, and you get a quick 
definition or synonym. It's not great depth, but it is, or was,  nonetheless

very useful. But recently either the CD has become corrupted or my computer 
doesn't like it anymore.

Can anyone recommend an open source dictionary and thesaurus that can be 
downloaded to a hard drive that has the easy accessibility of Bookshelf?
