The documentation doesn't mention it, because it doesn't do it.  However,
there is a shareware package called WordRef (the current released version
is 1.3) which does exactly that.  It is available for anonymous ftp from
sumex and also appeared in comp.sys.mac a while back.  If you have trouble
finding it, mail me and I'll send it directly to you.

>(Sometimes I think I should stick with LaTeX!).

WordRef also handles BibTeX bibliographic databases, even if you're not
using it in conjunction with Word.
