Why I can't use Pages

iWork is great, and I love it, but as a college student i can not use Pages. Why? because it lacks a fundemental tool that I love about Word.. integrated thesaurus. Until Apple adds this feature I simply cannot use Pages.

    1) Tiger: http://forums.appleinsider.com/showt...ght=dictionary Scroll down about 2/3 until you see the floating dictionary palette. I *believe* the pop-up at the bottom left allows you to choose the Thesaurus instead. If someone could confirm this...



    2) Nisus: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.p...uery=thesaurus



    Both of these are system wide, and will work in any app.



    I still use my old paperback one the most though...

    Yep, works a treat . The default is dictionary, select thesaurus from the drop down menu.



    I love Tiger .
