Judith,Thanks for the information. After messing around with it, I found that if I hit the applications key and arrow down or strike the Y key the thesaurus comes up and a list of possible words.
Thanks so much for helping out. Louis At 04:03 PM 1/13/2007, you wrote:
I know that with jaws 7.1, and this took some getting used to, I hit shift f7 and the first option that comes up is "research". Sometimes you tab again and get other options, many of which I haven't figured out, and if you tab one or two more times you get to thesaurus for the word your cursor is on. For each tab you get another synonym for that word and the next button is that word plus the word button meaning that if you hit that button that option will appear in your document. I hope I made myself clear and that this helps.----- Original Message ----- From: "Louis Lucero" <lclucero@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2007 3:38 PM Subject: Word 2003 and the thesaurusHi List,I am using Jaws 8.0 and Word 2003 and am having a difficult time using the thesaurus.
