Proofing: Thesaurus
A
Thesaurus is different from a dictionary or encyclopedia. A
Thesaurus organizes words by their meaning, not by spelling.
A Thesaurus has synonyms, antonyms
and related words. Synonyms are different words that have
almost the same meaning. Antonyms are words that mean the
opposite.

Go to Slide
6 in the sample presentation.
Select the word: downy
Go to
Review->Proofing.
Click on
Thesaurus.
What Do You See? The Thesaurus Task Pane will open on the
right side. The words you
selected should be in the Search box.
The
Search returned several words that have the same meaning and one
that has the opposite. When you click on the arrow to the right of the word you will
see Insert or Copy.
That's the Proofing Tools. So far, so good.
