Encarta Dictionary Issue

Anonymous

I am having an issue with the Encarta on Office 2010. I have been using this version of Office for three years, and I have never had a single issue with the Encarta dictionary. However, lately, I have not been able to find the definition of any words. Each time I punch a word into Encarta's search box, it comes back saying that nothing was found. I can still use the Thesaurus and, of course, Bing, but I was wondering if there was anything I can do to get Encarta back up and running.

    I've been experiencing the same problem and would also like to know if a fix is or will be available as none of the other fixes from previous years on Microsoft's webpages work.

    It's been off and on the last few weeks and now it's no longer working in 2010 and 2013. :(

    Has it been removed?
