I can get both the Dictionary and the Thesaurus up alongside the document on the screen at the same time; this is not the issue. Bringing them up as you describe still does not allow me to leave the Thesaurus to perform any other tasks in Word without closing its window. In Office 2001 Word I can go between the two Word Tools (using them BOTH for information) without closing the Thesaurus. (However, in both programs it is necessary to close the Thesaurus to work on the Word document) The operation in Office X Word that I describe is either an error of programming or I'm missing something, for the way that it operates in the most recent version lacks the versatility of the earlier version. This is incomprehensible to me. The versatility that I describe above is one of the most important factors for which I purchased this program. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
