Using the thesaurus

skillful writer knows how useful a thesaurus can be. AlphaWord Plus

thesaurus, you can look up a word and select a synonym or antonym
to replace it.
To use the thesaurus:
1. From within the file you want to work with, press
ctrl-T
. The
Thesaurus screen appears.
2. Type the word you want to look up. (In your file, if the cursor is at
the beginning or within a word, AlphaWord Plus automatically
places the word in the text field. Press
clear file

If the word could not be found in the thesaurus, you can
press
enter
to look up a different word or
esc
to exit.
