I found out about this from reading a computer magazine where someone
was complaining about the Office 2003 task pane and saying they
preferred the dialogues offered by previous versions of Office. The
magazine pointed out that the old dialogues are still there and gave the
method of finding them. All I had to do was browse the list and look for
items that looked like the thesaurus, assign the shortcut to them and
see what happened.

Steve,
That's really interesting. I never would have thought of that, because I
just assumed that MS must have changed things so that the content of the
thesaurus might be retained, but its older, simpler interface wasn't
there
in the coding anymore. And yet you think it is, if only you can reassign
Shift F7 to call it up? How would you know what to do in this
tools/customize menu? How would you find out just what to do?
Thanks.

Yes is the short answer.
My understanding is that coding for the old dialogue box that was used
in
Word 97/2000/2002 is still there in Word 2003, but there is also some
coding
for the new, task pane based thesaurus. Microsoft have pointed the Shift
+
F7 keystroke to the new thesaurus. My suggestion is that the keystroke
can
be pointed to the old dialogue box.
If, for some reason it doesn't work, you ought to be able to go to the
Customise Keyboard dialogue again and use the Reset button to undo the
change you made.

Sorry, I accidently exited without saving your mesage. But I would like
to know if I run word 2003 and go and change the assigned key stroke in
the customization menu, even though I don't have 2002 of word, are you
saying that the thesaurus will revert to my old favorite? What exaclty
will take place and will I be able to change things back if it screws
up?
Thanks
MMM
