Well this sort of works except here on my end my mouse is reading more than
just the suggested words. It is reading peices of other words too.
The num pad 5 key had to be used to make sure of the word to right click
on.
Is this part of the BUG?
I have seen this sort of trouble in excell when trying to use the data base
features ,When trying to link tables that you are supposed to click and
drag into the sheet.
Is this the same Microsoft limitation?

Hi,
First, I think it is important to know that there is a Microsoft bug in
Word
2010 that makes this a bit cumbersome, but there are ways to work around
it.
I will provide you with two methods to access it:
Method 1:
1. When your cursor is in the word you want to look up, press the Context
menu key or Shift-F10
2. Down Arrow until you hear Synonyms
3. Press Enter
4. Down Arrow through the Synonyms
5. If you find one you like, press Enter on it and it will replace your
word
with the new word
Method 2:
1. Put your cursor within the word you want to look up and press Shift-F7.
This brings up a pane that is vertically along the right hand side of the
screen. If Microsoft had implemented this properly, you would be able to
press F6 to access the pane, and it would read perfectly. But, it will
not
read correctly because Microsoft has a bug. So, we need to work around
the
bug.
2. When the pane appears, there is a Search For edit box. Press
Control-Shift-F to open the Find dialog so you can use the mouse to find
this information.
3. Type "search for"
4. Press Enter
5. You should hear "found search for." Now, you can begin to read the
Thesaurus pane by pressing Numberpad 2, which will move your mouse pointer
down the pane.
6. When you find a word you would like to use, press Numpad Star, which
will
right-click on the word and bring up a context menu.
7. Now, Down Arrow to Insert and press Enter
8. Focus will be back in your document. Press F6 to move to the Thesaurus
pane and press Control-Alt-Space to bring up the men for the pane.
9. Down Arrow to close and press Enter. This closes the pane, and you will
be back in your document. If you find you do not hear anything after
closing
the pane, Alt-Tab away from Word and Alt-Tab back.
Hope that helps.
Jeremy
