Hi,

while you can get to the synonyms list with the application key, this barely 
gives you any words to choose from.  It's nothing compared to what the 
thesaurus gives.  I've been told that the thesaurus isn't very accessible 
with word 2003 though.

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.
