Here's something quicker -
just place the cursor over the word in question (you do NOT have to  
click, highlight, or anything)
then hold down the control and command keys while you hit "d"
a definition for the word "appears" like magic!!!
AND if you want more, click on "more" (where else), and you GET more  
- including the thesaurus entry!!!!
I learned this recently, and was just wowed away!!!

hmmmm .... ever hear the question "what's another word for 'thesaurus'?"
I just checked the thesaurus entry for thesaurus, and it lists:
wordfinder, wordbook, synonym dictionary, and (rare) synonymy
