------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Sep 16 21:06:39 +0000 2010 ------- In the default installation for 3.2, the UK thesaurus is not available (grey on the menu). Switching the page to USA enables the Thesaurus but this is impractical for normal use as this then gives USA spellings and switching from one to another whilst editing is not practical. I've downloaded the later "dict-bundle.oxt" which when installed instead of the default, displays the same issue - so I suspect the problem is upstream on both the installation and the dictionary builds. However, I think there's a workaround. If you open the "dict-bundle.oxt" file as a zip file (7zip will do this easily) you'll see there aren't UK thesaurus files "th_en_GB_v2.dat" or "th_en_GB_v2.idx" included (I think there should be). You can of course copy the USA ones out rename them and then add them back into the zip file. You will also need to extract the "dictionaries.xcu" file and edit it (it's an xml file) - copy the USA thesaurus node and re-insert as a GB thesaurus node, i.e. effectively add this bit just before the US equivalent; <node oor:name="ThesDic_en-GB" oor:op="fuse"> <prop oor:name="Locations" oor:type="oor:string-list"> <value>%origin%/th_en_GB_v2.dat %origin%/th_en_GB_v2.idx</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="Format" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>DICT_THES</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="Locales" oor:type="oor:string-list"> <value>en-GB</value> </prop> </node> Then replace the original dictionaries.xcu with the one you've just changed back in the oxt (zip) file too. At this point you;ve rebult the oxt file with a new "dictionaries.xcu" and two new thesaurus .dat and .idx files. Now you can double-click it to install it (assuming oOO is closed). Initially it doesn't appear to work (like the menu still displays it's previous state) but I found if you then go into the Tools->Options->Language Settings->Writing Aids and disable the "OpenOffice.org New Thesaurus" and re-enable it again it is then magically enabled on the Tools->Langauge->Thesaurus/CTRL-F7 menu option. Hope this works for you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
