I don't see anywhere else where this has been reported. But if I highlight a word and right-click to look it up in the Dictionary, it opens up a blank Dictionary page and I have to type in the word. But if I use the Services menu, it opens the Dictionary entry with that word.

This feature worked in 10.5, I could right-click on a word to find it's Dictionary entry.

Anyone else find this?

Doesn't work when it's text that I've typed, like in Pages.

Yeah, weird, right-click in Pages (08) doesn't work, but it's there in the Pages - Services menu.

Other than that, the right-click seems to work almost everywhere else (Safari, Textedit, Preview, Mail).

It might be something that's fixed in Pages 09, which I don't have.
