Re: Look Up Missing in Word 2007 Beta

Hi Tom,

You need to make sure that the field Choose Commands From says "Commands Not In Ribbon". There definitely is a "Look Up" in the list below it then.

Thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate your taking the time to reply.

Your first two options require several extra clicks to invoke a feature
that only required two clicks in the previous version. They are a step
backwards.

I have added the Research Pane to the Quick Access Toolbar. This is helpful
but it's not as convenient as a direct link to the Look Up feature. I have
looked carefully but I can't find a "Look Up" command on the lists of
available features for the QAT toolbar that would duplicate the feature in
Word 2003.
