Yard,
Wasn't referring to your message. I was referring to the two or three other
posts that inferred that right clicking on the document or pressing the
applications key and arrowing to synonyms would give you what they wanted.
I was just letting them know that this wasn't the same as using shift F7 and
trying the use the thesaurus. Please take note, I do know how to read and
don't require you to tell me to go back and re read previous messages.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,
It's really obvious that that's an incomplete list. I explained it more
precisely than this in the message I posted in direct response to Judith's
post, earlier, if you read it.
thanks.

Hi,
That is a incomplete list at best. There many more words that come up in
the thesaurus than the very few that come up the way you are saying.

Hello,
with the cursor just to the right of the target word, as in office 2000, do
a right mouse click, then hit y for synonyms and your list of choices will
come up.
