• If you don't find the definition you need, click Research options in the Research task pane, click Parental Control, and then ensure that Parental Control is not turned on. Parental Control may filter definitions from the set of results.
• In Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, the Research task pane is available only when you are reading or composing e-mail messages.
