Chris,
I can't give you tips on using the Thesaurus in Word 2003, because I gave up
on it and went back to using Word 2000 for exactly this reason, which is
just fine for me.
However, you're up against the fact that this newer Thesaurus function
consists of a pane, or panes, and can't be navigated with Jaws in the
customary way you've attempted. I tried to read up on it in Help, where I
didn't have trouble at least finding something, but it was just too
complicated for me to master, and I didn't even want any of the new
functions and links that this thing offers.
However, Francis Daniels has some expertise with this and, if he reads our
messages, may be able to share some of his knowledge with you helpfully.
Good luck. Francis? You there?
Daniel

Subject: Thesaurus in MS Word 2003
Hi. First off, In MS Word XP I can bring up the thesaurus by using Shift
F7. I then have no difficulty using the thesaurus function.
In MS Word 2003, however, things seem to be vastly different. Shift F7 no
longer works to bring it up. I found the thesaurus under Tools and then
under research. From that point on I can't seem to navigate the thesaurus
with JAWS. I can't figure out how to utilize it, and I've done a help
search to try and figure out what to do coming up with no helpful
suggestions. My question is with JAWS can I take advantage of the thesaurus
in version 2003, and if so, how? Thank you for any thoughts.
