Word should provide antonym look-up capability.

The ability to see antonyms is lacking here. I believe that it used to be
available in earlier versions of Word. When can you restore that capability?

It's still there. When you research the word, the display shows meaning,
synonym, and antonym if known.

When you right-click a word and select the Synonym item, often there
will be an antonym at or near the bottom of the list. In Word
2002/2003, you can Alt+click a word to look it up in the Research
pane, and again there will often be antonyms listed in the Thesaurus
section. It might be useful to request Microsoft to include more
antonyms, but the feature is not completely missing.
