    Like the title my word doesn't have any kind of dictionary/thesauras I don't know why but ti doesn't. Office came installed in my comp automatically so I'm not sure why the dictionary is missing.

    Don't use office 2007. I'd suggest Pages (which involves buying a Mac) or OpenOffice.

    You could try this. Doesn't require you to buy a Mac, either. Which is the other suggestion that Virail made.

    Virail, who stated that you didn't suggest using open office? 0.o

    I was merely supporting the idea of buying a mac, and Zombie cited that you gave the idea of open office, and also provided a link.

    Thanks but I tried the review tab and it still didn't come up o_O Whatever I'll just use Open office. Word was beginning to get on my nerves anyway.

    It comes up but does nothing >_> I think its my copy of word and I don't feel like reinstalling it. I meant mostly the thesarus gives me no other words for the one I'm trying to use and the dictionary has nothing but the most basic definitions.
