Microsoft Word - How to Use Smart Lookup in Word
Shelley Fishel 
When you are working on a document and want to get a definition or some more information about something, use Smart Lookup to add that extra dimension
How to use Smart Lookup in Word
In Word you will find Smart Lookup on the References Ribbon in the Research group (I will talk about Researcher in another blog post 😊) and in the other Office programs you will find it on the References Ribbon.
Using Smart Lookup
To use it, select the word or phrase you want to look up and then click the Smart Lookup icon.
A task pane will open on the right of the screen with a list of suggestions for you. It is powered by Bing – it will look something like this:
You will see that there are more items in the task pane that are not showing – you can simply scroll down to see more. If you want even more suggestions, there is a show more button at the very bottom.
You will see that you can open the site or copy and paste the text into your document.
I am sure that this will save you time when you suddenly need to find out what something means or find an alternative explanation.
