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.
