Ken, Pardon my jumping in here. I've got MS Bookshelf and, overall, like it quite a bit. However, I've not been able to find a way to easily search for a word in the dictionary when I do not know how to spell it. This is not a problem when I'm using my word processor, but I often use MSL "stand alone". If you know of an easy way to find an unknown word, please let me know. The other night I spent 10 minutes trying to find a word using several thousands of dollars worth of computer equipment and finally went to my $5 paperback dictionary (took me about 60 seconds). A "Wildcard" search capability would be great, but I can't find anything that would suggest that this is possible with my 1991 edition of MS Bookshelf. David Justice
