How Do You Use The Thesaurus Feature In Microsoft Word?
You want to use the correct word in what you are writing–whether it is a business or personal letter, a report for school or a business report. You don’t have a thesaurus (a book that shows synonyms for particular words). Don’t worry, if you are using Microsoft Word to do your writing, the software itself has a built-in thesaurus you can use. Write your document completely and go back and check for synonyms of the words you want to check. Or, you can check each word as you are writing for synonyms, to find the exact word you want. Use your mouse to put the insertion point in the word you want to check, or immediately after the word. Click “Tools,” point to “Language,” and click “Thesaurus.” View the synonyms for the word you want. Use one of them, unless you decide you like your original word better.
