Since I need a really great word to describe this program, Thearus Menu, the best way to go about it would, naturally, be to just use Thesarus Menu.
   Well, it only works in Microsoft Word, but, after all, that's where I (and, I'll be, you) do most of my writing, anyway.
   How does it work? Like a charm. You simply highlight a word with the mouse, click on the right mouse button, and a new option appears named Thesaurus. As you can see from the screen shot on the left, what you get is a whole list of words which mean about the same thing as the word you highlighted ("great" in this case) and, in addition, words which have meanings like the words in the first list.
   Looking at the illustration, when we right-clicked on "great" we got a whole lot of words we could have used, Since there's a little arrow next to "numerous," another list will appear there with synonyms for "numerous." Slick, huh?
   What's slicker is that antonyms are also available. Just move your cursor on down. Frankly, this makes using a thesaurus easy, a lot easier than with Word alone and vastly easier than keeping a book beside your computer.
   The best news of all is that Thesaurus Menu is free. It can be obtained on a special download page of Woody Leonhardt's WOPR web site. While you're there, you might take advantage of another great offer from Woody, the world's all-time leading Word guru, and subscribe to his weekly mail newsletter about Microsoft Office products. Woody knows what he's talking about and his newsletter really covers the waterfront as far as Office products are concerned.
