When the word is selected, go to the Tools menu, slide down to Language, then over to Thesaurus. A shortcut method is to depress the Shift key then tap F7. Practice with the word below:
Happy
After you are sure you have no questions about using the Thesaurus, change the sentences below. Only use words that you find in the thesaurus. Resist the temptation to throw in words you know. Be prepared to share your work with the class.

It was a dark and stormy night
It's all over but the crying
It ain't over till the fat lady sings
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today
It's not over till it's over
Any friend of yours is a friend of mine.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link
Many hands make light work
Any friend of yours is a friend of mine
As easy as pie
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater
