There are millions of people like me to whom English is not their mother tongue,
and who are learning new words every day. 

StarDic, and PowerWord by Kingsoft, Peking China are some dictionary popup
utilities which popup when the mouse is placed over any word, in browsers like
Firefox, Opera, K-meleon, Internet Explorer, Nero Burner, AVG Anti Virus, etc,
etc., and also Microsoft Office application programs including Microsoft Word. 

Inside Microsoft Word, double-clicking any word will pop up iFingers Oxford
Dictionary, Theasaurus, Quyotation, Encyclopaedia, etc, etc.

The above refer to Windows XP platform. 

OpenOffice, up to version 3 Beta, despite other great features, stands alone in
not having this mouseover popup enabler, or double-clicking on a word to pop up
ifingers utilities.

I think OpenOffice as it is now lacks this very useful mouseover feature. As a
result Microsoft Word has an edge over OpenOffice.

I wonder whether this mouseover popup event enabler can be incorporated in
future new version of OpenOffice.  Or is it too difficult to do?
