Step-by-step instructions how to find a synonyms and antonyms using
the Microsoft Word 2007 Thesaurus. It's easy to do!
If you can't seem to find the right
word.
If the word is on the tip of your tongue but you can't quite
remember it - you can always give the Thesaurus a shot to find
synonyms or antonyms for a certain word.
To find synonyms (words
that have the same or similar meaning) or antonyms (words with the
opposite meaning) for a word in your document, start by right-clicking the
word and choosing Synonyms from the shortcut menu.
With luck, the synonym
or antonym you are looking for appears on the submenu and all you have to
do is click to enter the synonym in your document.
Usually,
however, finding a good synonym or antonym word list is a journey, not a
Sunday stroll.
