SUMMARY
=======

When you use the mouse pointer to navigate through the multimedia section of any
of the Microsoft Encarta programs listed at the beginning of this article, you
can double-click a word to open a dictionary window, which provides the
definition of that word, or the closest word that the dictionary contains.

MORE INFORMATION
================

By design, Encarta allows you to double-click any given word as a method of
bringing up the dictionary. Normally, there are restrictions to this
functionality (to prevent the dictionary from opening when you double-click
within restricted areas): within photo credits, captions, and titles. However,
these restrictions do not apply in the programs listed at the beginning of this
article. Therefore, if you double-click within a photo credit, caption, or
title, the dictionary unexpectedly opens.

In some situations, if you click a caption after you click someplace in the text
of the multimedia items description, the dictionary opens to the last cursor
position within the items description. For example, this behavior may occur if
you perform the following procedure:

1. Open a picture or an item that includes a description in the caption.

2. Click anywhere in the description.

3. Double-click Credits.

   The dictionary opens in the description of the item that you previously
   clicked.
