Using synonyms and the thesaurus
You can access a short list of synonyms from the context menu:
1) Select a word or phrase, right-click, and point to Synonyms on the pop-up
menu. A submenu of alternative words and phrases is displayed.
Figure 88: Synonyms on the context menu
2) Click on a word or phrase to select it and replace the highlighted word or
phrase in the document.
The thesaurus gives a more extensive list of alternative words and phrases. To use
the thesaurus:
1) Select a word or phrase, and then choose Tools > Language > Thesaurus, or
press Control+F7, or right-click and choose Thesaurus from the pop-up menu.
2) In the dialog box, click on a meaning to show alternative words and phrases
for that meaning of the word.
For example, when given the word house, the thesaurus offers several
meanings, including dwelling, legislature, sign of the zodiac, and others. If you
click on dwelling, you will see dwelling, home, domicile, abode, and other
alternatives, as shown in Figure 89.
Note
If the current language does not have a thesaurus installed, this feature
is disabled.
