3.0 out of 5 stars Easier than grabbing a heavy hardback, October 29, 2003

By	Raine Wynd "Raine W." (Bothell, WA USA) - See all my reviews

The MW Medical Desk Dictionary's best feature is that it's convenient. It offers you the option to install macros that put an icon on your Word or WordPerfect toolbar that will launch the dictionary. Highlight a word in your document, click the icon, and it will look it up. Type the beginning letters of a word in its search feature, and it will attempt to match what you type with a word in its dictionary. Where it fails is when you don't want that word and it's automatically filled the search box with some other word, so you have to delete the letters that don't apply. Sure, it's easier than grabbing a heavy hardback, and better than the outdated dictionary I had, but its automatic look-up ability needs serious work. I also wish it was a spell-checker plugin rather than an add-on dictionary; you can't tell Word (or any other Office application) that it's a dictionary you're adding in because there is no *.dic file for the program to find to add in. Still, for the money, this is a very good program if what you want is a dictionary and not a spellchecker.

I thank you again Amazon for excellent service. I recieved my CD in 2-3 days. It was just what I wanted and was looking for. The vendor said it was the way it would be coming, and it was. There were no hidden secrets.
I'm a very happy customer with Amazon and to its vendors. Thanks Again.
