SYNONYMS AND THESAURUS

              At times we look for different words having similar meaning, word processing software provides you with a
              feature of synonyms and thesaurus. Synonyms are words that have similar or the same meanings. A thesaurus
              is a tool that lists synonyms and sometimes antonyms (opposite meanings) of words.

              The steps to replace a word with its synonym are as follows:
              Step 1:  Right-click on the particular word whose synonyms you want.
              Step 2:  Select the Synonyms option from the context menu. A submenu with various words with similar
                      meaning will be displayed.

              Step 3:  Click on the desired synonym.

                      The word will be replaced with a synonym.
