When The Old College Library Is Too Far Away, Use “Smart Lookup!”
A quick look at another useful tool brought to you by Microsoft Excel
Gone are the days of trekking to your old college campus to search out the student library to do your research but sometimes we still make our research even more complicated than it needs to be! Instead of opening a new webpage to research data within your excel file, you can actually research, with incredible ease, directly from your excel cells!
This amazing tool by Microsoft is your own personal pocket genius. Within Excel, there is what is called the “insights pane.” It is a drop-down that is powered by Bing and offers much more than just definitions. When you select a word or phrase, right-click it and choose “Smart Lookup.” The insights pane will open with definitions, Wiki articles and top related searches from the web! Without even having to open another page, you can get everything you need directly from your own document. See below for a visual “how-to.”
The Smart Lookup is also accessible any time by clicking the “Review” Tab, then selecting “Smart Lookup” and entering a query there.
