Hi everybody,
In excel I can use word spelling, autocorrect, but I don't
find thesaurus to use. How I can use/install this feature
of words in excel.

Many Thanks,
Nency

Nency,

I don't believe it is possible to the thesaurus in Excel.

Hi Nency,
Thesaurus is not available in Excel.
see my answer based on a search in your other posting.

There is no need to post to
more than one of the major Excel groups -- you just make things
more difficult for those who try =to help and for those who search
for their own answers at
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?q=group:*Excel*
also take a look at xlnews.htm, posting.htm on my site.

I've written an Excel add-in "Thesaurus for Excel" that provides the Word
thesaurus features.
It also provides a one click ability to list synonyms or antonyms on the
spreadsheet.
It adds a menu item to the Tools menus just below the "Spelling..." item.
If you would like to give it a try, I would be glad to email it to you.

Steven,

It is my understanding that attachments are viewed with suspicion on public
newsgroups, especially this one. If I could get past chapter one of "Front Page
for Dummies" then I would put up my own site. I am sending the Thesaurus for
Excel program to you via email.

I know Jim Cone volunteered his solution. I ran across this article on the
MS Office Mag web site the other day, which also has a way to access the Word
thesaurus feature from Excel:

http://www.msofficemag.net/features/2001/01/vba200101sd_f/vba200101sd_f.asp

It uses Windows API calls, so it should be lots of fun <g>!
