Microsoft Word also provides a thesaurus No, it is not some special type of dinosaur. A thesaurus contains lists of words that mean the same thing which are called synonyms and lists of words that are opposites called antonyms.

Why use this tool? Have you ever written a paragraph, and used the same word ten times and thought, "Gee, I wish I could think of another word to use." Well, the thesaurus can suggest other words to use. This tool will make you sound much better than you really are! So let's get to work.
