Software / Microsoft Word / Thesaurus & Dictionary

Thesaurus & Dictionary
    

What it is:
Word lets you link directly to the Dictionary and Thesaurus.

How does it work:
  • Highlight a word and go up to Tools. Select either Dictionary or Thesaurus and a new window will open.
  • The Dictionary definition can be copied and pasted into another document, in order to have it read aloud.
  • In Thesaurus, the word selected to replace can be read aloud on the Mac, using the system.
  • The Thesaurus also links to the dictionary, to obtain definitions of synonyms.
