Beyond spell checking, beyond the Thesaurus, and even beyond Word 2003's ability to translate text into a foreign language is the Research task pane. What it does is to instantly (or longer with a dial-up Internet connection) connect you to the Internet to peruse several online references regarding whatever it was you recently Alt+clicked with the mouse.
For example, say you type the word Mesopotamia in your document. Press and hold the Alt key and then click the mouse on the word Mesopotamia. Instantly, you see a whole slew of interesting references about Mesopotamia via the Internet. Now that's Research!
