So why does the thesaurus in Pages have to suck so bad? Anyone have a workaround? I'm using Pages 09 and to be honest Claris Works 3 blows it away. You'd think, other than a slicker interface they'd actually have improved upon things and not made them worse.
What is so hard about selecting a word, going to the thesaurus, selecting a better choice (double click or hit ok) and have that word inserted in your document?!? Instead you might not as well select anything, instead just go to the writing tools, type in the word, copy the new word & past it into your doc. Talk about 0 steps forward 2 steps back.
A key command would also be nice but control clicking would suffice. This current method is not very efficient. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried accessing it both from the menu & control clicking the word. Same results.
Other than this I quite like the program but this is quite the shortsightedness on Apple's part.
