3. Press ALT and click the word you want to look up.

   Results appear in the Research task pane.

4. To use one of the words in the list of results or to search for more words, do one of the following:
   • To use one of the words, point to it, click the down arrow, and then click Insert or Copy.
   • To look up additional related words, click a word in the list of results.

Notes

• You can also look up words in the thesaurus of another language. If, for example, your document is in French and you want synonyms, click Research options in the Research task pane, and then under Reference Books, select the thesaurus options you want.
• Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 does not support ALT and click. Use the right mouse button (right-click), and click Look Up on the shortcut menu.
• The thesaurus is installed by default. If, however, you receive no results from the thesaurus, you may need to reinstall it.
• In Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, the Research task pane is available only when you are reading or composing e-mail messages.
