Dear wwwsift member,

If you have downloaded the MS Word macros for translators at...
http://web.ticino.com/multilingual/ms_word_macros_for_translators.htm
... in the past, then you may have noticed that some of them are no longer
working properly.

This could be due to
a) software updates on your computer or
b) the fact that some of the dictionary websites referred to by the dictionary
look-up macros have moved or no longer exist.

A new version of the macros is now available (free download) featuring new free
online dictionaries and updated macros to work with new software versions.

You can download them for free from here:
http://web.ticino.com/multilingual/ms_word_macros_for_translators.htm

Simply identify the current location of the file macros_for_translators.dot
on your computer and replace the old file with the new version.

If you have never installed these macros before and would like to try them,
simply go to the website above, download the file file
macros_for_translators.dot and read the instructions given in that file.

If you notice any macros not working properly, I would appreciate the feedback.

One last thing: the Altavista parallel text search macros are not 100% reliable
now that Altavista has modified its search facilities, restricting the use of
brackets to refine a search. Sorry about that. Am working on it!

Kind regards,
