= SUMMARY =

The Word version 5.00 Thesaurus does not look up words that contain extended characters.

In Word 5.00, the message “Word was not found. Choose another word to look up” occurs when you look up a word that contains extended characters. Word then loads the Thesaurus screen, gives a list of words, and suggests the closest word it finds. For example, when you look up “cafe” (with the accent over the “e”), the Thesaurus finds cafe.

In Word 5.50, the message that appears is “The Thesaurus Does Not Recognize the Selected Characters.”
