Default using research pane

Hi.

Does anyone know how to use the research pane in Word/Excel to monitor
the word a user is currently typing in order to do something useful with
that information (e.g. check to see if the current word is a certain
name and then display some information about that person in the research
pane)?

Ideally, I could get Word/Excel to alert me every time a character has
been typed. That seems unlikely, though. One idea I have is to query
the document every so often and determine the word closest to the
cursor. Any better ideas?

Any insights you have would be appreciated!

Thanks!
