I just wanted to say that I used the thesaurus earlier but pressed the applications button and got all the synonyms or word definitions for the word that was highlighted. Thanks for the applications key tip. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Harmon" <rharmon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Nicol,

Yes it is possible to get Word 2003 to use the same Thesaurus dialogue
as Word 2000 (or Word 97, come to that).

In Word, open the Tools menu and choose Customise.  Tab to the Keyboard
button and press it. In the Categories list, go to Tools. Tab to the
Commands list and go to ToolsThesaurus. Note that the one below this is
ToolsThesaurusRR. The former is the old style dialogue, while the latter
is the newfangled one. By default the Shift + F7 is assigned to
ToolsThesaurusRR, and what you want to do is reassign the keystroke to
ToolsThesaurus. While on ToolsThesaurus, Tab to the "press new shortcut
key edit" and press Shift + F7. Press Enter twice, the first time to
reassign the keystroke, the second to close the dialogue and return to
the Customise dialogue. Tab to the Close button and press it.

You should now find that the Shift + F7 keystroke opens the old
dialogue. If you want to use the new system, you can still get to it
from the Tools menu, Language submenu.

Steve

HI all
Before I  ask my question on this topic let me just beforehand apologize
for the inconvenience  the little piece at the top of this message might
cause. I know blind people from various lists have been complaining
about this. This is my company's disclaimer and I have asked them
several times  to put  it at the bottom, but they refuse. They say its
policy for the disclaimer piece to be at the top of each outgoing
message. This is out of my control. I can't manually put it at the
bottom. Its not a signature that  appears when I write the message. When
I press control+n, a blank message appears.  Only when I press alt+s for
send the firewall adds this disclaimer piece  to the top of the message.
Sorry for this.
I have the same problem. At work I was first using office 2000, but they
upgraded us to 2003. I asked them to downgrade me to 2000 again but they
refused. At home I have office 2000. Is there a way I can install the
thesaurus of 2000 onto the 2003 office at work? Its only the thesaurus
of office 2003 that bothers me, other than that 2003 is ok. I have a 2
gig flash drive, so if there's a way I can copy the thesaurus of 2000
and install onto the 2003 office it would be great.
thanks

Yes about the 2003 thesaurus, a real pain. Thought I was the only one
that was upset at MS for messing with a good thing. Why their techs got
to keep wrecking a good thing with what they think to be good ideas is
technology at its worst!
I might go back to 2000 just for the same reasons. The worst thing is
once you do anything with the thesaurus you get stuck with the Task
Paine thing being checked and now you got to go into the view menue and
unclick it. Is there a way to shut off that Task Paine thing forever?
Thank you list from Michael
