Using the thesaurus

About the thesaurus

The thesaurus lets you look up synonyms, related words, and antonyms for words you specify. For example, if you
specify “figment,” the InCopy thesaurus provides synonyms such as “fiction” and “fable,” related words such as
“concoction” and “fantasy,” and antonyms such as “fact.”

The search for a word doesn’t need to end with the first set of synonyms, related words, and antonyms you find. You
can look up any one of the suggested words and display its synonyms, related words, and antonyms. You can quickly go
back to any of the last 10 words you looked up.
