I am switching from Word Perfect 2000 to MS Word 2003.
In WP there is a setting for the tool bar in which you see each word as you
type it and it will either offer you spelling choices or it will offer you
thesarus suggestiosn just by clicking the down arrow. The word appears in
this little window and does not need to be highlighted. I used it a lot but I
cannot find this in MS word or even if this is available in their program.
