Writing Tool: Free Pop-up Dictionary

WordWeb is a great little dictionary program I've been using for years, and it's completely free. You can be typing away in anything on the screen -- email, word processor, database, web form -- and suddenly suspect you've misspelled a word. Simply click on the word and then press Control-Alt-W. Up pops WordWeb with a list of words so you can find the right spelling. Or, if you did spell the word correctly, up pops a definition and list of synonyms.

I just now used it on the word "synonym." Cool, I did spell it right.

This is an indispensable tool for anyone who does a lot of writing outside a full-featured word processor. It's free, it works offline (you don't have to be connected to the Internet to use it), and you can download it right now from: http://wordweb.info/free/
