Finding the Right Words

Repeating the same word in a workbook can reduce a message’s effectiveness. Instead, replace some words with synonyms or find antonyms. If you need help finding exactly the right words, use the shortcut menu to look up synonyms quickly or search a Thesaurus for more options. This feature can save you time and improve the quality and readability of your workbook. You can also install a Thesaurus for another language. Foreign language thesauruses can be accessed under Research Options on the Research task pane.
