First you need to install wine

sudo apt-get install winethen download wordweb to your Desktop or where ever. Then change to where the downloaded wordweb file is eg.

cd ~/Desktop then use wine to install the wordweb file you downloaded eg.

wine wordweb5.exe

can i use wine to run a dictionary other than word web?the problem with word web is it doesnt prompt for a word.u have to enter all the letters before the word is defined.can u suggest a few dictionarys?

You only need to use wine when trying to installing windows programs. You could look at kdict (http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2008/02/29/setting-up-wordweb-equivalent-dictionary-kdict-on-ubuntu) which works with ubuntu.
