Encarta Right-Click Dictionary Reviewer's Comments
Microsoft Encarta Right–Click Dictionary is a program that’s strictly used for Internet research or to simply define and further investigate a word that you come across on the Internet. This is much more than a dictionary; it’s a portal to a vast database of information.
Because this program is just for the Internet, you won't be able to use Encarta in conjunction with word processing programs or other applications.
Microsoft Encarta has a wealth of information. You have instant access to a dictionary, thesaurus, audio pronunciation and even translations with Encarta Premium. The dictionary has all the basic features like parts of speech, phonetic symbols and verbal illustrations.
You can also choose to find more information about the entry word, which will bring up pictures, articles, maps and more.
