Tymestream Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 I have been searching all day to try to find a solution to this problem! I cannot use the Thesaurus in Writer. I have followed all Openoffice documents and many online suggestions. It is still greyed out and not accesisble. Under the options for Writer, I have set the correct setting but under the Thesaurus tab there is no check-box at all. Version is Openoffice 1.1 Mandrake 10 I have tried so many things my brain hurts. Can the thesaurus be installed after the main install? If so, where can I locate a copy of it. Thanks in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 I haven't tried it, but this seems to be the place to go: http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Who_me? Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 The thesaurus is installed. It is a Mandrake bug that has been around forever, but which they refuse to fix for some reason. It can be easily remedied by typing the following from a root prompt: echo "THES en US th_en_US" >>/usr/share/dict/ooo/dictionary.lst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
