This is my biggest disappointment with the Word 4.0--the thesaurus isn't
integrated, it's a desk accessary. We have Word on our student lab and
there isn't enough disk space now on their boot disks. We couldn't add
the thesaurus to their 800k boot disks if we wanted to and I doubt we
would want to--no way to prevent piracy. So much for the new thesaurus.
Maybe 5.0 will have it as an integrated part of the package...
