I'm kind of lazy so I just use the thesaurus in Word. Highlight the word you need a sub for and click on "Tools", then "Language", then "Thesaurus" (the shortcut is SHIFT F7.) If you want more choices, choose one of the new words and look that one up.
I used to look it up in a paper thesaurus, but that took more time and back when I was going to school trying to crank out papers, I didn't have time to waste!

They're called synonyms, and you need a thesaurus, Microsoft Word has one built in or you can go to dictionary.com.
Microsoft Word suggests for Greater-
better
superior
larger
bigger
improved
enhanced
superior
But greater really works for your needs.

i would get a small thesaurus book that u can keep on your desk, it seems easier to me to look it up by hand
a thesaurus is a really great writing tool, because if u are writing for school, teachers will often dock u credit for using the same work repeatedly
as for substituting 'greater' in the sentence u gave, i would use sweeter/nicer in your context

For this sort of thing, I'd probably try a thesaurus - that's what the Good Lord made them for. As far as an appropriate synonym for "greater," I'd try "finer."

It's called a Thesaurus. Many dictionaries also have a section in the back.

Thesaurus. I always thought thesaurus was a Latin word meaning: scary lizard with huge vocabulary.

In a thesaurus--you can probably pick one up at a dollar store, they are sometimes even in thrift stores. There is also an online thesaurus.
