Product Description: Talk about not getting a word in edgewise, this chatty upgrade of the bestselling CD-ROM dictionary is now part of the Compton's Home Library series and deserves a place on your software library shelf because of the many ways it brings words to life. More than 200,000 definitions? An integrated thesaurus with more than 1.5 million synonyms and antonyms? Big deal! It's the spoken pronunciations of some 90,000 words (in proper human and not robot-computer voices) that stand this dictionary on its ear-and makes it especially useful for children. New to this upgrade: Some 3,000 images, photographs, maps and flags that illustrate the meaning of words; and it can be launched with one click directly from Microsoft Word (version 6.0 or higher). The search capabilities are easy and include partial-word and alternative-spelling finders. If you're going to buy a computer dictionary, this one will speak to you like none other.
