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 already running another program using Accent's text-grabbing system, such as Accent's WordPoint. * You are trying to select a menu item in any Windows 95 application. * You are trying to select words in an application that uses non-standard Windows 95 functionality for text display, such as WordPerfect. In these instances, you can still use Webster's New World Dictionary and Thesaurus by choosing words manually in Webster's New World Dictionary and Thesaurus's 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 install.
