how do i look up antonyms in the thesaurus in Word 2003

I'm not aware of a way to limit the lookup just to antonyms, at least not
without resorting to VBA. Some words have antonyms, some don't. If any
exist, they'll be listed at the end of the synonyms list, with (Antonym) in
parentheses.

Shift+F7 looks up the word at the insertion point and displays the
synonym/antonym list in the Research pane. If you'd prefer a dialog box, you
can assign the ToolsThesaurus command to a keystroke/menu/toolbar.
 
If a word has an antonym in the thesaurus, it will be listed at the
bottom of the synonym list on the right-click menu, with "(Antonym)"
after it.

The selection of antonyms in the English thesaurus is pretty thin. I
don't know what it's like in other languages.
 
hey my Word 2003 Synonyms used to work before but after i reinstalled the
whole system, "synonym list on the right-click menu" is not giving me any
answers. any idea how to fix that ?
