There are no synonyms in Word 2007
Hi. When I right click on a word and select "synonyms" is always says "(no
suggestions)" and it is "greyed out". This always worked for me in Word '97. When I select the "Thesaurus" option I get the error message "No Thesaurus is available for English (U.S).", but then it does come up with a panel on the right showing the Encarta Dictionary listing for the chosen word. How do I get the synonym function to work? Thanks, Joel |

There are no synonyms in Word 2007
Hi Joel,
If you select the text and use Shift+F1 to bring up the 'Reveal Formatting' pane what language does it show for the text? If it shows 'Do not check Spelling or Grammar' and you have not run F7 spell check there is no language set for that text for Word to know where to look for the Synonyms. If there is a language set the right click should put the synonyms in Word 2007 in the right click menu without a need to drill down to an additional level. (i.e. you won't see the 'Synonyms' submenu if the text has a language applied. For the additional resources such as online dictionaries, at the bottom of the 'Research Pane' [panel] that comes up choose the 'Research options' link to see what Dictionary and Synomymn resources are marked as available. ============================= "UFGator" wrote in message ...

There are no synonyms in Word 2007
Hi Bob,
Thanks for responding to my question. I did Shift+F1 the languages that come up are "(Asian) Japanese" followed by "(other) English (U.S.)". When a word is spelled wrong I can right click on it and it will give me the correct spelling. When I do this there is also an option for "language" and it is set to "English U.S." and is "checked" on. F7 seems to spell check just fine. In the "Research Options" link I have "Encarta Dictionary: English (North America)" checked as well as several of the U.S. research sites.
