Insert a Dictionary Entry

Microsoft English Query includes a dictionary of thousands of common English words. This dictionary provides your English Query application with the terminology it needs to answer most questions posed in English. You can add new words to the dictionary if, for example, your application requires specialized terms that are not generally known.

Creating entities (with synonyms) and relationships will provide most of the vocabulary the system requires. You only need to create a dictionary entry if the word you are defining is not associated with a particular entity or relationship. (The new terms appear in the Semantic Objects tab in English Query.)

  1. On the English Query Insert menu, click Dictionary Entry.
  2. Click one of the Dictionary Entry Type options.

Click Word to define a main entry in the dictionary, or Read synonym or Write synonym to register a synonym of a word already in the dictionary. For more information about the options in the Dictionary Entry dialog box, click .
