|
I write use Microsoft Word. I'm looking for a good rhyming dictionary to supplement Microsoft's Thesaurus. Free or fee based. The one on GotPoetry is excellent, but cumbersome to jump in and out of while writing. I'm looking for similar functionality already found in the dictionary and thesaurus with Word.
Any ideas?

I use the GP one and write in another program called Journler; if I have the Web up, I just put the dictionary in a separate tab for easy access.

Looks like another reason to purchase a Mac. Thanks for the feedback. Reviews sound quite favorable.

I know there's no Windows version of Journler, which I think is the bomb -- I can blog from it, email from it, add files, cross-reference topics and key words among entries, group and categorize them -- great tool for a working writer; but I bet there's a similar tool with similar functionality out there for Windows.
I still use Word to prep submissions and manuscripts once the raw writing and editing is done, since that's the standard most publishers use for file submissions. Tried Open Office in an attempt to divorce entirely from Microsoft, but never found it as comfortable and certain presses that use older versions of Word had formatting issues.

I use Rhymezone.com for rhyming assistance, which gives common rhymes and also has an option to refine the search to fewer letters (like "arch" rhymes to words ending in "rch").

This is the one I use as well and is a great tool to have for those of us who rhyme.
