0:00:00,50 --> 0:00:01,80
- [Instructor] Have you ever been typing away

2
0:00:01,80 --> 0:00:04,90
in your Word document and you need to find a word

3
0:00:04,90 --> 0:00:06,00
that's on tip of your tongue,

4
0:00:06,00 --> 0:00:07,50
and you just can't come up with it.

5
0:00:07,50 --> 0:00:09,70
Or perhaps you're using the same word over and over

6
0:00:09,70 --> 0:00:12,90
in your document, and you need to find some synonyms.

7
0:00:12,90 --> 0:00:15,50
Well, there's another proofing tool in 2019

8
0:00:15,50 --> 0:00:18,60
called the thesaurus that's going to help you with that.

9
0:00:18,60 --> 0:00:19,50
Let's explore it now

10
0:00:19,50 --> 0:00:23,30
with our Tech Connect document 0803, if you're catching up.

11
0:00:23,30 --> 0:00:26,10
Scroll down to the bottom of page one.

12
0:00:26,10 --> 0:00:29,20
Check out the first sentence about the Give-a-Thon

13
0:00:29,20 --> 0:00:31,70
in Denver, Colorado likening it

14
0:00:31,70 --> 0:00:35,90
to the hubbub of activity to a typical frenzied day

15
0:00:35,90 --> 0:00:36,70
on Wall Street.

16
0:00:36,70 --> 0:00:38,00
How about the word hubbub?

17
0:00:38,00 --> 0:00:40,20
Maybe there's a better word, a more professional word.

18
0:00:40,20 --> 0:00:42,90
We'll click anywhere in the word

19
0:00:42,90 --> 0:00:45,60
to look up synonyms for hubbub.

20
0:00:45,60 --> 0:00:48,00
We simply make sure the review tab is selected

21
0:00:48,00 --> 0:00:50,50
on the ribbon, and click the source.

22
0:00:50,50 --> 0:00:53,00
That opens up the pane over here on the right hand side.

23
0:00:53,00 --> 0:00:55,70
The word's already showing up at the top,

24
0:00:55,70 --> 0:00:58,50
and it's also highlighted here in our document.

25
0:00:58,50 --> 0:01:01,40
That means we can find a synonym down below

26
0:01:01,40 --> 0:01:04,60
that we might think would work better

27
0:01:04,60 --> 0:01:08,40
by simply selecting it, like the word din.

28
0:01:08,40 --> 0:01:09,70
Go ahead and click it.

29
0:01:09,70 --> 0:01:14,00
That opens up the word din to show synonyms for that word

30
0:01:14,00 --> 0:01:15,50
including hubbub.

31
0:01:15,50 --> 0:01:18,40
Well, I'm thinking maybe if we just go back

32
0:01:18,40 --> 0:01:20,10
and use the word din,

33
0:01:20,10 --> 0:01:22,40
as opposed to looking up other words.

34
0:01:22,40 --> 0:01:25,20
Click the drop down arrow and insert it.

35
0:01:25,20 --> 0:01:29,50
Notice it replaces the word hubbub with the word din.

36
0:01:29,50 --> 0:01:31,50
Let's try that one more time.

37
0:01:31,50 --> 0:01:32,80
Down in the next paragraph,

38
0:01:32,80 --> 0:01:35,50
just three short years ago we quietly.

39
0:01:35,50 --> 0:01:36,80
Click in the word quietly.

40
0:01:36,80 --> 0:01:37,70
Now when we do that,

41
0:01:37,70 --> 0:01:40,70
we're still looking at hubbub over here.

42
0:01:40,70 --> 0:01:43,80
So if you wanted to, you could could the source again,

43
0:01:43,80 --> 0:01:46,70
and it replaces it with the word quietly.

44
0:01:46,70 --> 0:01:48,70
Again, we can go to any of these synonyms.

45
0:01:48,70 --> 0:01:50,50
You can see some

46
0:01:50,50 --> 0:01:53,90
are different types of adverbs,

47
0:01:53,90 --> 0:01:56,50
and if you find word that you like,

48
0:01:56,50 --> 0:01:58,30
I think softly.

49
0:01:58,30 --> 0:02:00,10
We can click the drop down and go directly

50
0:02:00,10 --> 0:02:02,60
to inserting it, like so.

51
0:02:02,60 --> 0:02:04,40
When you're done with the thesaurus,

52
0:02:04,40 --> 0:02:06,90
click the x in the top right corner to close up the pane

53
0:02:06,90 --> 0:02:09,70
and continue working on your document.

54
0:02:09,70 --> 0:02:12,10
So, if you're looking for a certain word,

55
0:02:12,10 --> 0:02:13,80
you can't come up with you

56
0:02:13,80 --> 0:02:15,30
but you know the general idea,

57
0:02:15,30 --> 0:02:19,50
type in a similar word, use thesaurus to find that word.

58
0:02:19,50 --> 0:02:22,10
Or again, if you're using the same word over and over

59
0:02:22,10 --> 0:02:23,20
throughout a document,

60
0:02:23,20 --> 0:02:25,10
that can become a little monotonous,

61
0:02:25,10 --> 0:02:27,20
you might want to look up other words that mean

62
0:02:27,20 --> 0:02:30,20
the same thing to create some variety

63
0:02:30,20 --> 0:02:35,20
in your documents using thesaurus.
