 LI>  I'll certainly share whatever information I learn about thesauruses. 
 LI>   Phil has helped already.

Linda, I am not sure what happened to your message.  If I would
have quoted all of it, you would see that this the same message
starting over again after a few skipped lines.

Now, back to the subject.  It is A spell checker that I am looking
for that will work with speech outside of wordperfect.  It is my
spelling that is terrible.

 LI>  great Texas gals\s.  Well, if you need a word before you get your 
 LI>  thesaurus just ask Liz, myself, Susan--Marda, and Ann Stalnaker--she 
 LI>  lives in Oklahoma, but that's not her fault, and we'll be glad to 
 LI>  help you out!

What do you mean?  You didn't always live in Texas.  It is your
fault you went there.

 LI>  By the way, have you used the Word Perfect thesaurus much?  Are you 
 LI>  like the rest of us and looking for something that works well with 
 LI>  speech, or have you found its thesaurus inadequate?  I like it and 
 LI>  think Word Perfect is good, but other things on the market are good 
 LI>  also.

I have never been able to get the thesaurus in wordperfect to
work.  I haven't tried very hard.

               Walter
