November 13, 2004: First, it is said that the software 'let you add notes to definitions.' I have bought it and tried in vain; the publisher, after inquiring, told me that 'Unfortunately, this feature was not built into the software. You can define words selected within other programs such as a word processing documents, but you are unable to add notes to the database containing the definitions themselves.' Second, the window opened is too small, and unable to enlarge. If you want a good software, I think Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary is better. It have pronunciations, and may pronounces automatically in Quickfind mode. The size of window is changeable. Nevertheless, WNW, with more entries, and clear definitions, is a good dictionary in itself for college students.
