ABSTRACT:
A document display system displays the contents of an electronic document. If the user requests dictionary access, the electronic document is modified by attaching invisible dictionary access information to words in the document. The modified document is then displayed, the words to which the dictionary access information is attached being visibly marked. If the user selects a word to which dictionary access information is attached, an electronic dictionary entry for the word is automatically retrieved and displayed.
