13 April 2022

When reading a document that someone has prepared, you may come across words that you don’t entirely get the meaning of, and you may wonder if they’re in the right context inside the paper.

Defining a word is important because it allows us to have a common understanding of a term or issue. Here’s an easy way to get the definition of a word in MS Word:

Highlight the word that you want to get the definition. In this document, we would like to get the definition of “IT Network”.

Right click the highlighted word and then click “Search”.
