Hi Dave. Thanks. I tried your suggestion and it worked. In fact, it works
perfectly fine for my needs.
Is it just me or are a lot of the features in both MS Word and Outlook
getting to be less JAWS friendly with newer releases? It seems that way to
me. At any rate, thank you for the suggestions, Dave, and everyone else who
responded.

Hi Chris,
One way to use the Word 2003 Thesaurus is to put your cursor on the word you
want Synonyms for and press the Applications key which will bring up the
Context menu. Arrow up to Synonyms and press Enter. You will then have a
partial list of synonyms to choose from. I know this does not give you full
access to the thesaurus as you had it before, but it may help in some
situations and could get you out of a bind if you really need a replacement
word. Another choice for such a tool is to install the American Heritage
Dictionary, which is very JAWS friendly and offers many more word choices
than Microsoft word ever did.
Regards,
Dave
