Keeping writing lively and interesting can be a challenge, but a thesaurus can
help. AlphaWord Plus includes a thesaurus that you can use to replace a word
with a synonym or antonym.
To use the thesaurus, follow these steps:
1. In your file, move your cursor so it is either just before or inside the word
you want to look up. (You can skip this step if you want to look up a word
that isn’t in your file.)
2. Press ctrl-T to open the thesaurus.
3. If you moved the cursor next to a word, it will be shown between the
brackets.
If there is no word in the brackets
A, or if you want to look up a different
word, type the word you want to look up. (If you need to delete text that is
already between the brackets, press clear file.)
4. Press enter.
5. If the word was found, you will be asked to pick a category (or part of
speech) as shown below. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor next to a
category and press enter. (If the word could not be found in the
thesaurus, you can press enter to look up a different word or esc to exit.)
6. Next, some synonyms for the word will be listed. You can do any of the
following:
If you see a word that you want to use, move the cursor next to it and
press enter.
