Why won't Microsoft Word 2003 let me right-click and get a synonym? It did
it before, and all of a sudden it stopped working! Now when I right-click, I
have to also push the thesaurus button so it will show up in the research
box, but I don't like that way. I like my simple way of right-clicking, so
please help me get it back!

I wonder if you've removed it from the menu somehow? If you start Word using
the /a switch (Start - Run - winword.exe /a), is Synonyms now in the
right-click menu?

If so... the easiest solution -- assuming you haven't otherwise customized
the menus such that those customizations need to be preserved -- is Tools -
Customize - Toolbars tab - Shortcut Menus - Reset.

I tried that and it still didn't work! Is there any other thing I can do?
