I find Artha is very useful as a dictionary and thesaurus. However,

Artha for Windows or Linux? I have it on Linux desktop, but used it
once or twice. I have the Windows version but never used it on my
Vista or XP laptops.
My English dictionaries have a thesaurus with about 140,000 word and
phrases that can be looked up. They do not have a definition listed
for the words in the spell-checking dictionary part, but the largest
ones are over 638,000 words in the word list.
You can find them at my portal
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/dictionary.html#english
OR the LO extension site.

I have Artha on both Windows and Linux, but I use Linux mostly. I do
use the definitions, and I probably use definitions as
often as spelling verification, or more so. But practically every word
you look up comes up "very rare"--which, of course,
most of them are not.
When I'm using LO, of course the spell checker is turned on--I wouldn't
know how to turn it off, and I only wish I knew
how to add words to it--like my name. To be honest, when I use Windows,
I prefer WordPerfect, which I believe is
superior in usability and performance to either of the 'Offices and to
MS Word, which you people slavishly imitate.
