I'm unsure about the meaning of your first sentence, whether you're being facetious or not, or what you mean by "No."
Thanks for the suggestion, but going online to check a dictionary would be more effort and time than simply closing and opening the Thesaurus on my desktop, which I do so from the tool bar icons. Word's Dictionary is adequate (when it's not I use very comprehensive hard-copy desk dictionaries -- and a large thesaurus). The speed and at-hand reference adaptability has been lost, and this is what I'm decrying; it doesn't make sense to me that this was done deliberately as an "improvement," but perhaps occurred as an oversight or incorrect program writing? > No, it would seem that not being able to use both the dictionary and > thesaurus simultaneously is an "improvement" from Redmond. > > If I can suggest a workaround, use Omni Group's OmniDictionary and > Word's Thesaurus. > > Erick > On Sunday, Aug 24, 2003, at 19:21 America/Indianapolis, tivo wrote: > >> Is anyone using Word X? >> >> Office 2001 Word allowed me to open both the Dictionary and the >> Thesaurus >> alongside a document on the desktop and to switch back and forth >> between >> them for information at will. >> >> In Office X (Word) this is no longer possible.
