You would use a VLOOKUP function - set up a table somewhere with the
words listed in one column and their meanings in the next column
(suppose this occupies M1:N100). Then with the word you want to find
being entered in A1, put this formula in B1:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,M$1:N$100,2,0)),"Not found",VLOOKUP(A1,M$1:N
$100,2,0))

If the word doesn't exist in the table you will get the "Not found"
message.

Hope this helps.
