Word macros for terminology research

[mcthulhu]

The Translation Tribulations blog has a guest post by Tanya Harvey Ciampi on using MS Word macros to do terminology searches in online dictionaries, etc. without leaving Word, by hovering your cursor over a word and then clicking an icon or using a specific key combination. This can be a lot faster than doing it in separate browser searches, especially if you're checking multiple dictionaries at the same time. She includes a YouTube video of a couple of the macros in action, and a URL for downloading the example macros, which users may want to customize.

This seems useful, if you do any reading or translation involving MS Word files.
