Automatically define a list of words in Excel?
I have a list of words in Excel that I need defined. I was wondering if there
is an easy way to define them using an online dictionary's results. |

Define "defined"
Give an example of some words and what you want Excel to do with them. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 5 Jul 2006 17:12:01 -0700, chris wrote: I have a list of words in Excel that I need defined. I was wondering if there is an easy way to define them using an online dictionary's results. |

Specifically, they are vocabulary words. For example: whit
convene seamy minion perspicuous tumult boredom inimical desuetude dodge adminicular tautology diplomatic expose jejune tempestuous haptic busybody glabrous overlap I have to say I'm a newbie when it comes to Excel but I've searched online quite a bit and thought it might be possible to reference or insert some sort of results you get from say, dictionary.com and have it displayed in the adjacent column "Gord Dibben" wrote: Define "defined" Give an example of some words and what you want Excel to do with them.

Quite a project!!
I wouldn't know where to start to automate something like that. Perhaps if you hag around a while someone will drop in with an idea. You'd be amazed at the breadth of scope covered in these grooups.

Not quite what you asked, but maybe you could use =hyperlink() in an adjacent
cell. =HYPERLINK("http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/"&A1,A1) This just opens up a browser window to the dictionary.com site when you follow the link. chris wrote: Specifically, they are vocabulary words.
