Janie:
If you are referring to steps provided by Brian Lee here you go: Hello,
I am using Word 2010 but I think getting a list of synonyms is the same in
Word 2007. Select the word that you want a synonym for and use your
application key. Use up arrow a few times and you should find a menu choice
for synonyms. Use right arrow key into the list and down arrow key to hear
the various synonyms. In Word 2010, after selecting the word and using the
application key, the letter Y puts focus right in the list of synonyms. You
can also launch the thesaurus from that menu. When you are in a document,
use F6 to switch between the panes.
Take care.

Hello all. I am currently using Windows XP, Word 2007 and Jaws 11.
When I try to access the thesaurus using Word,
it's hit or miss. Sometime it works and sometimes not.
I am pressing Shift f7 then the context key then "Y" to get jaws to read the
list of synonyms.
Does anyone know of a more reliable way of accessing the thesaurus?
Thanks in advance.
Pete

Hey there
Can you send me the steps you received so I can determine if mine works too?
I enjoy the research it feature but would love to have the other option that
seems to work for you now
Okay?
Keep Smiling,

Thanks Brian. This way seems to work better than my "shift+f7" method.
Thanks.
