Tip: Look at the sourcecode! (Copy & Paste it into DW if
you like).
It is a bit of a mess, but you can find pretty easily how it
is done...
I guess the most simple would be to use the <dfn> tag
for that with a
title attribut <dfn title="my definition is
this">term</dfn>. that way
your definition will show up like a tool tip... and of
course, you can
style the dfn itself using css

Does Adobe Reader have the plug-in to display the word definition when moving mouse over the word?

Hi,
I would like to know if Adobe Reader has such plug-in that displays the word definition when the user moves the mouse over the word.
Basically I think it needs to
detect what word is presented under the cursor
look up the word in the dictionary or source file e.g.xml
pop up the definition of the word, which can be a translation or definition
It would be great if user can actually customize this dictionary file/source file.
Do you think there is such plug-in?
Many thanks for your help/advice here.
Cheers
SX

Hi,
When I use Adobe Reader “look up” function, it takes me to dictionary.com. I am wondering if Adobe Reader allows me to customize this look up function, so I can use another website or my offline dictionary, instead of going to dictionary.com.
Many thanks for your help/advice.

Turned on Mac mini and cannot get rid of the word definition page and get to home page. What's wrong?

Turned on Mac mini and cannot get rid of the word definition page and get to my home page. What is the problem?

Is this a screensaver?
Whatever
Push the power button and hold it until the mini shuts down, then start it again.

Does Captivate 8 have any facility to allow users to see a word definition upon clicking/hovering over text in a Captivate project?

You can have both clicking and hovering. But you need to add the definition manually for every such word.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

I want word definitions to appear in box as mouse hovers over word

Hi,
I want to create a website of hundreds of foreign-language short stories, that will let non-native readers see English word definitions and commentary by moving their mouse over the foreign word. I'd like the definition to come up in a box without interfering with the on-screen word or (if possible) the online text. Can anyone tell me how to do this in iWeb?
Thanks!

Also, you might want to read up on what are sometimes called "tooltips".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooltip
Roll over the hyperlinks on that page to see if that's the sort of thing you want to use. If so, that can't be done in iWeb, you'd have to edit your html afterwards to make this work. Check out this page for code examples.

Word definitions

I guess I was spoiled with iPad!! When I was reading the newspaper in Acrobat reader and highlighted a word, the definition would pop up. Doesn't work on my Android Samsung tablet using Acrobat 15.0.1. I only get "Copy, Highlight, Strikethrough, Underline". Is it a setting or do I need to download an app? (I tried searching and could not come up with an answer that I understood)

Pop up glossary definition upon hover

Is there a way to make glossary definitions appear in a pop-up when the user hovers over them, as opposed to using the standard expanding text format?
I'm using RoboHelp 7 and producing FlashHelp output.

Hi KC
Not really. Not without a LOT of tweaking.
You (and others) should ask for it!

IPages word definition lookup missing in new version

In the old version of iPages on the iPad you could double tap a word then hit define and it would give you the definition. This is missing in the new version. Anyone know how to access this feature please. thanks.

I had the same problem when I downloaded the new app and then found the solution. If you have iBooks, open any book and double tap a word. "Define" should appear as one of the options. When I tapped on it, it said I did not have a dictionary downloaded and asked if I wanted to. Say "yes" and it will give you a full range of dictionaries in the cloud to choose from for free and in many languages. Once you download a dictionary go back to Pages and the "Define" feature should be there. It worked for me. Hope it works for you.

How do I deactivate the suggested pop up word list while typing e mail in Mac OS X Leopard

I tried to deactivate spell checking and auto spell checking in both Mac mail and in Mac system preferences. I still get a drop down list of suggested words as soon as I begin typing two letters. What could I be doing wrong? How do I get rid of this drop down list? Example: I begin typing a sentence in the text area of Mac Mail. I begin with a capital T, then I type the next letter I get a drop down list of 10 words to select from. Why is this happening?

Hmmmm, do those settings survive a restart, or do they get reset?
Are you running any third party software that could be doing it?

My computer has been acting weird lately. Shuts itself off, the mouse goes off in all angles, does not go into sleep mode sometimes and instead shows on a gray screen definitions of words in 3" letters! Do I have a virus?

Doesn't really sound like a virus.
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
How many of these you can answer...
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

How to personalize a link that pop up a word document?

Hi there,
I would like to carry out personalization in the standard oracle page. The requirement is to personalize a link that when user click, it will pop up a word document.
I would appreciate guidance on how to carry out this requirement.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi AJ,
The pop up word document is having static content, for example a guideline on how to rate a performance for an employee.
Thus, I am hoping that this can be done via Personalization by adding a link.
Appreciate help on this context.
Thanks and Regard,

Glossary words in text not linking to Glossary

In a new book I'm putting together I can't seem to make the glossary words embedded in the text to produce the pop-up window definitions on the Preview version on the iBook. I've done it in prior books but can't make it happen on the new one. Duh... I've forgotten how to enable this. Any help?

I had just the same problem, when I was logged in with Gernam language selected.
When I logged in with English, it DID actually work
So, I created the function in English, saved it, then logged in with German. Now the function title could not be changed, so I deleted the function and created again - now it was found even in German language setting.
Hope it helps someone

How do I remove those annoying little words that appear at my tool tips?

How do I get rid of those little pop up words at the tips of my tools when I select objects.
They usually say "path" or "object"

Those ‘annoying little words’ can be extremely useful if you are searching for anchors or trying to get things to snap properly.
They should definitely not be dismissed as ‘annoying’.

How do I correct random audio pops in Premiere Elements 13?

Please help me with this audio issue! I hear occasional pops (skipped words, not smooth narration) in my edit. I shot the footage with a Rode video mic, but have not had this problem with this microphone before, and furthermore the pops appear not on the same marks every time, so it is not embedded in the original footage and therefore I conclude that the original audio quality is fine. At first I thought it was a yet-to-render issue, but after rendering it (while editing), and ALSO after publishing it to my computer to watch a version there, I still here random pops. Once I published it to my computer, the pops were stuck to specific points in the edit, but this is not so when I watch my edit in Elements, the pops are always in different places, and often will not be there when I roll back to try to immediately listen again for a just-heard pop.
Can anyone help with this? How can I smooth out my audio?

Hi Steve,
Thanks for getting back
I used a Samsung SMX-F40BP/XEU "Handycam" recording from the the image projected on to a screen. This produced mp4 video files on an SD Card, H.264/AVC Format with AAC Audio
I then dragged and dropped the raw video files on to the PC hard drive, and added the folder to the Adobe Organizer.
When creating the projects I
1) Create a a New Project PAL Standard DV 48KHz to match the 4:3 aspect ratio of the original film
2) Drag the video/clip I intend to work with from the organizer window in to the work are of Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
When I was originally doing this yesterday for the first 15 clips, when added to the timeline, the video clips appeared as 1 contiguous clip as in the first image i posted.
When i went to work today I noticed that when i dragged a clip from the organiser to the work area, the video took longer to appear on the timeline, I could see the progress as it was added, with lines appearing where scenes/splits are being automatically added as in the second image I posted.
I noticed first thing that the clips were appearing in the organiser window with different icons, and in some cases I could expand the clips to see all scenes that had apparently been generated automatically. All clips in the orgnaiser now appear with the same icon, and are all expandable.
If i now create a new project and use one of the original clips that originally appeared as 1 contiguous clip on the timeline, it is now split automatically, as with the later clips.
