Yes. Read the help file --word processor--thesaurus. if you run the
word processor and under the drop down menu, utilities, the thesaurus

here is the txt from the help file:

Thesaurus
Previous Top Next

The word processor supports a Thesaurus. If you aren't familiar with
one of these what it does is to take the word that you highlighted in
your text and provide you with the contexts in which the word appears
in the thesaurus. For example, the word "fear" appears in the contexts
fear (noun), fear (verb) and cowardice (noun). You can select one of
these contexts and various alternative words will appear in a list from
which you can select one and choose to substitute it for the word you
highlighed. This is very useful if you find that you are using one word
rather too much and would like to use a similar one with a close
meaning.

Note that, in order to minimise download size, the Budgie distribution
does not contain the actual Thesaurus. The Thesaurus will only be
active if you download it and place it in the folder into which you
installed Budgie. You can download it and other dictionaries for use
with Budgie, free of charge. from
http://www.addictivesoftware.com/dicts-extern.htm. Choose either the US
English or UK English version - you can't use both.

An excellent suite but limit what it does to Microsoft Office or you
won't be able to choose the latter.

Sadly all the prolific downloaders went all the way on the free ride
and left us this:

Budgie 1.6 was offered on Tucows and Download.com in August 2003 as a
Freeware product. Since then there have been over 17,000 downloads.
Thanks to all of you that looked at the program.

We announced Budgie2004 in February this year as a pay-for upgrade.
Many of you have downloaded this time-limited shareware product but
very few of you have registered it. In fact only one of you has!

Meanwhile we have been paying $xx a month for excessive bandwidth on
this site so we have decided to pull the product from the download
sites and eliminate the downloads from this site and its sister sites.

We will continue to support the freeware product but it will no longer
be available for download.

Anyone want to bear in mind that a few quid or whatever now and again
is worth a lot more than a few stupid votes?

No?
