How to add Research Sites in Microsoft Research
Hello all,
I have MS-office 2003 on my machine. I frequently use 'Research' through office applications (Word, Excel) and even IE. Now, in the drop-down menu for selecting source, I need to add 'Encarta Dictionary', 'Encarta Encyclopedia' under 'All Research Sites'. How do I do that? Please note that, in the Research pane when I click on 'Research Options...' it opens a window and 'Encarta Dictionary' is NOT there under the list 'All Research Sites'. Yours truly, Manu |

Also, when I tried "Add Services..." and used the following URL:
http://office.microsoft.com/Research/Query.asmx it listed a large of services. Even in that, Encarta wasn't there! :-( |

Hi Manu,
What locale settings are you using in the control panel in your PC and what is the country listed as default in the top left of http://office.microsoft.com ? ============= "Manu" wrote in message ...

This pointed me in the right direction, but I wanted to give more detailed
instruction for others trying to fix this issue. The issue is with the Location information that is on the Regional Options tab under the Regional and Language options in the Control Panel To fix this problem, you need to change your location to the United States and Click OK Then go into Microsoft Word and Click on Tools Research At the bottom of the Research Task Pane Click on Research Options Select Add Services Put in this URL http://office.microsoft.com/Research/query.asmx and click Add This will update your list of available services and the Encarta Dictionary should now be an option Select the dictionary and Click OK. You should now have the Encarta Dictionary as an option under your Reference book drop-down in the Research Task Pane. "Priti" wrote: I owe you big time.
