Hot-keying to "WordWeb"

Post by jjonesusg »

A great "little" dictionary and thesaurs tool,
http://www.wordweb.co.uk/free/
but I can't get the tool configuration set correctly to give it the WORD the cursor is on (I can already do this successfully with Merriam-Webster using TypeToApp.)

The following config launches WordWeb via TP hot-key, but doesn't supply the word:
Command: C:\_WordWeb\WWNoTray.exe (run in window)
Parameters: $SelWord
Initial Folder: C:\_WordWeb

In their docs they indicate it can also be executed properly using the Windows Start/Run box as follows:
Rundll32 WWEB32.DLL,ShowRunDLL word-to-look-up
This works, but I'm not sure how to put this into TextPad :(

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
Jerry

Re: Hot-keying to WordWeb...

If I high-lite the word ...
Ctrl-C to copy the word into the Clipboard...
THEN hot-key to WordWeb ...
that process works properly!

Just add the Parameter $Clip in the tool settings

eg.

Command: C:\_WordWeb\WWNoTray.exe (run in window)
Parameters: $SelWord $Clip
Initial Folder: C:\_WordWeb
