Want macro to open Encarta from Word

D

David Newmarch

I have the Encarta Dictionary 2001 installed on my hard drive, and I access
it (very frequently) from Word 2003 by clicking on Tools/Look up Reference...
and then selecting Encarta World English Dictionary from the list box of
"Available reference titles" where it is on the second row of the lsit box
(the first row is blank). The dictionary then opens to the definition of the
word on which the cursor is presently located in the Word document.

This works fine but I'd like to create a macro or a bit of code I could use
to assign all these actions to a single button on a Word toolbar, and I can't
figure out how to create the macro or write the code. When I try to do it in
the usual fashion by recording a macro, none of the mouse clicks are
recorded.

Any suggestions will be welcome.
