Estelita,
I don't know if you can override the short-cut
key that was assigned to Word 2003 ThesaurusRR .
You can try it and see if the short-cut key can
be used. I preferably wanted to keep the original
short-cut key for anyone else that may use my PC. That's my opinion.

I'll try your suggestion, however, can I assign shift+f7 in this respect?
Thank you,

Hi Vicki and Estelita,
Like you, I have a hard time trying to find a
replacement word in Word 2003 Thesaurus. I find
an alternative way to find replacement word
just like the way we did it in Word XP (2002). The steps to do so is below:
1. Open Word 2003
2. Go to tools (Alt+T) and arrow down to customize and press enter
3. You will be in the Commands page. Arrow down
to the category "all commands"
4. Tab once. Quickly press the letters t o
o to get to the beginning of the tools category
5. Page down until you find "tools thesaurus"
Note: this is the one you want, not tools
ThesaurusRR which is the one used for Word 2003
6. Tab to the keyboard button and press enter
7. You will be in the customize keyboard
category. Arrow down to tools and tab once to "all commands"
8. Again quickly type the letters t o o to get
to tools and page down until you find tools thesaurus
9. Tab once and you should hear "current keys no selected item" .
10. Tab and enter new short-cut key. I have
shift+F9 as my keys for this command
11. Tab to the close button and press enter.
The change will be saved in normal.doc
You should be back at the tools thesaurus
category where you previously press the
keyboard button . Tab over to close and press enter.
Now you can press shift+F9 on a word in Word
2003 and you will have the familiar Thesaurus that we had in Office XP (2002)
Write me if you have any problems or questions.
Since I have made this change, I have not used
Shift+F7 anymore even though that is still available.

Does anyone know how to change a word while using the thesauruse in Word
2003 pro? I can find the word I want, but there is no way to substitute
words that I can find as there was in Word 2002. Thanks.
