Hidden Trick to Add Dictionary to Google Office
The recently discovered language tools that were meant to enhance the Google Office suite can be easily implemented into Google Docs using a simple command to be entered in the address field. The trick was discovered by Tony Ruscoe from Google Blogoscoped who said that writing a simple line into the address bar of your browser can add three new options for every word included in a Google document. As you might know, blogger Ionut Alex Chitu discovered a document that revealed some new solutions to be implemented into Docs & Spreadsheets: Encyclopedia Britannica, the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary and a thesaurus.
Although there was no official confirmation for these new speculations, it is now possible to add them to the Google tool by following some simple steps. Here’s what you must do to implement the utilities into Google Docs: create or open a document in Google Docs and enter the following line in the address bar of your browser:
javascript:void(INCLUDE_BRITANNICA_INTEGRATION=true);
Then, you can right click on any word from the document and you should be able to view three new options: dictionary definition for the word, the encyclopedia article and the thesaurus tool for the term.
“Selecting a word which doesn’t have a dictionary definition or thesaurus entry will sometimes give you a list of “similar” words, although similar words for “Google” currently returns cackle, chuckle, cockle, cycle, giggle, goggle, guzzle, jiggle, joggle, juggle, quackle, quickly, shackle, sicky, sizzle, squiggle, suckle and swizzle!” Tony Ruscoe said.
