= SUMMARY =

When invoking the Thesaurus in Microsoft Word version 5.00, the alternative words may not be visible. To make the words appear, select a different background color in the Options “colors:” field.

= MORE INFORMATION =

In Word version 5.00, the Thesaurus (as well as the spell checker) uses the same color palette specified in the Options “colors:” field. However, the text color cannot be specified. Listed below is the default color setup for the Thesaurus:


 * 1) Background and border colors match what is specified in the Options “colors:” field.
 * 2) Text and highlighted text default to internal settings.

This configuration may create a situation where the alternative words of the Thesaurus are not visible. Changing the screen colors in the Options “colors:” field will resolve the problem.
