enum WordDirection 
{
Right = 0,
Down,
Diag_Down,
Diag_Up 
};

namespace WordDirection {
enum Direction { Right = 0,
                 Down, // Shouldn't this be Left?
                 Diag_Down,
                 Diag_Up
               };
} // namespace WordDirection

// or if you don't like namespaces, use a class
class WordDirection
{
public:
    enum Direction { Right = 0,
                     Down, // Shouldn't this be Left?
                     Diag_Down,
                     Diag_Up
                   };
};

case (int)WordDirection.RIGHT:

3: "RIGHT" is in capital letters, while your declaration is not completely in capital letters! The C++ compiler is case sensitive and therefore it will issue an error. You should use "Right" instead.
A solution to your problem would be:

case Right:
