Using the thesaurus

You can use the thesaurus to refine your writing style. The thesaurus lets you look up options such as synonyms, antonyms, and related words.

You can replace a word by using the thesaurus. When you look up a word, the thesaurus provides a short definition and a list of the lookup options selected. The thesaurus also maintains a history list of the words that you have looked up. Each time you start the thesaurus, it begins a new history list.

The thesaurus automatically replaces a word with a suggested word, but you can also use the thesaurus to insert words.

This prompt appears when the word that you want to replace is spelled the same in both the present and past tenses (for example, "read"), or when the word can be used as more than one part of speech (for example, "wonder," which can be used as either a noun or a verb).
