Thesaurus Built In

$Account.OrganizationName
Greetings!
Thesaurus built in
Microsoft Word saves you time

Do you still go to your bookshelf for a thesaurus? If you use Microsoft Word you don't need to do that. Word has a thesaurus built into the program.

To use the thesaurus, type the word you want a substitute for. Left click anywhere in the word. Then, left click Tools on the Menu Bar, left click Language, left click Thesaurus. A new window will open on the right side of your screen. A list of words which may be substituted for your selected word will appear. Move your cursor over a word and a dropdown arrow will appear to the right of the word. If you click the dropdown arrow you will see three choices: Insert, Copy and Look up. Left click Insert and that word will replace the word in your document.

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
