A basic function of Hyperwords is to select text on a web page and make it easy to get other information about the text. You are no longer restricted to following only the links others have made for you.

Selecting text is simple: either double-click on a word, double-click between two words (like in a name) to select both, or stripe/drag-select a larger selection of text.

If for some reason you want to find out who the prime minister of Kazakhstan is, just select Kazakhstan and select 'References' from the menu that pops up and then select 'Wikipedia' from the sub-menu.

You should now be seeing the Wikipedia entry open in a new window to the left of your main window.

You can even get the result right inside the menu, just hover over 'Wikipedia' (or any other reference or many searches, such as 'people' or 'pictures').

There are other kinds of commands in Hyperwords, it is not just about references or searching. Please have a look at some of the tutorials above to learn more.

To perform a quick Google search, just select text on the page and hit 'enter'.

What about the links?

If there is any product, company (such as Google) or service (any of the References) listed in this Tutorial which doesn't have a link and you would like to know more about it, just use the Hyperwords menu to find out: Select the text, go to 'Go/Google top search result' or select text and just enter 'g,g'. And you will get taken to the top Google search result for the product or service.
