Hi Sherri,
Shift+F7 is the default hotkey for activating the Thesaurus in Word 2003.
You should be at the beginning of a word or have a word selected when you
use the hotkey. When the key combination is used focus moves into a
separate pane. You can use tab key to the meanings and when you find the
one you want to use press the application key. In the context menu will be
a replace choice. You can then use F6 to move back to the main document
pane. CTRL+F1 closes the task pane.
I am not at a system with Word 2003 right now, but the above is pretty close
if my memory serves me right.
Take care.

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.
