How To Use Thesaurus

definition
DEFINITION:

Thesaurus is a software in Ms-excel that is used to find synonyms and antonyms of a selected word.
Synonyms - words that have the same meaning.
Antonyms - words with opposite meaning.

In this tutorial I will be showing you how to use thesaurus in Excel to correct or change your data spellings to their synonyms and antonyms.

  • STEPS TO USE THESAURUS
  • Step 1 - Open your excel worksheet and type in the word Good and select the cell.
    • thesaurus
  • Step 2 - Click on the Review tab, and go to the Proofing group and click on Thesaurus.
    • thesaurus
  • Step 3 - The thesaurus pane will be opened at the right side of the excel workbook. In this pane, you will see the selected word at the top search input box and below it will be list of words (synonyms and antonyms)
    • thesaurus
    note
    NOTE:

    The antonym is usually the last word in the list of words, so you will have to scroll down for you to see it.

  • Step 4 - In the list of words, go to the word that you want to use to replace the selected word (in my own case it is Decent), click on the dropdown arrow by its side and a sub list will be displayed. Click on the Insert option.
    Note that if you click on the word directly, the search input field will be change to that word and the listed words will also be changed too.
    • thesaurus
  • Step 5 - The word Good is now replaced with Decent. On the thesaurus pane, click on the close icon (X) to close the pane.
    • thesaurus
  • Step 6 - DONE!
    • thesaurus
  • Step 7 - You can also choose to copy and paste words from thesaurus instead of just replacing it directly with the selected word. Now let's look for the opposite (antonym) of decent.
    Select the word Decent, click on the Review tab. Go to the Proofing group and click on the Thesaurus.
    From the thesaurus pane displayed at the right side, in the list of words scroll down to the antonym (in my case here the antonym is Discourteous). Click on the dropdown arrow by its side and a sub list will be displayed. Click on the Copy option.
    Click on the close icon (X) to close the pane.
    • thesaurus
  • Step 8 - Select the cell where you want to place the word, and press Ctrl + V on your keyboard to pasted it there.
