Hi Reg, The answer to your first question is on the OOo knowledgebase at the link http://mindmeld.cybersite.com.au. Search for thesaurus and it will provide a method of enabling a thesaurus for non-US English installs of OpenOffice.org. As to your second problem, I cannot see why the Danish module would not be able to be removed except for two possibilities: 1. The dictionary is inherent to the working of the software. That is, you are using a Danish localised version of OOo and it is attached to the default styles. 2. Maybe a permissions problem with the dictionaries on your install.

I have now activated the thesaurus for my UK English install of OOo. It works, but I have noticed that some of the meanings and synonyms are American spellings rather than British, e.g. hue = color; respect = honor. I have already changed the language of my program to UK English. The spell checker works in UK English. Is there a way to resolve this?
