Thesaurus

The Thesaurus tool will suggest synonyms, antonyms, or related words for a word that you want to replace.

After correcting the spellings and the grammar, Nick also realizes that readers may not easily understand the word din. He feels it would be better if it could be replaced with a synonym. So he consults the Thesaurus in MS Word.

The Thesaurus tool will suggest synonyms, antonyms, or related words for a word that you want to replace. To use the thesaurus,

  1. Click on din and press Shift+F7 to open the Thesaurus dialog box.
  2. Or, select Tools > Language > Thesaurus from the menu bar
  3. Or click on “din”. You do not have to select or highlight the entire word; just placing your insertion point anywhere within the word is enough.
  4. Highlight the option “noise" from the suggested list and click Replace in the box.
