Entries are in alphabetical order and accompanied by definitions.
The user no longer has to consult a dictionary for specific meanings of an entry. Words are easier to find because one does not have to consult an index, and then go to another section. The new format makes this thesaurus more accessible to a wider range of users. Even though the index system is gone, there are directional cross-references for some entries. Technical writers will find this book helpful because it is easier to use than other thesauri.
