I'm not sure I understand you.
Word has dictionary capabilities that other applications can share (e.g. the
spell checking in Outlook Express).
You get these when you install Microsoft Word or one of the other Office
System primary applications.
The dictionary is not available for use or download on its own.

Hi Charlie,

If by 'dictionary' you're referring to being able
to look up definitions then Office/Word 2003 offer
that ability through the research task pane (Ctrl+F1)
there's also some ability to work with the MS Encarta
packages, http://microsoft.com/encarta and
the online Encarta services - http://encarta.msn.com

As Mike pointed out, grammar and spelling checkers
are provided (in 3 languages with the English language
editions). Additional proofing languages are also available.
