I'm using ooo3 on opensuse 11.0
The Thesaurus item in Tools-Language menu is greyed out, so cannot be used.
I've checked in
Tools-Options-Language_Settings-Writing_aids-Openoffice_Thesaurus - edit, and
there is no thesaurus listed when the language is set to British or Canadian
English, only when set to American English, which then also changes the
spellchecker, which I do not want to do.
I've checked in the extensions repository, but there is no British English
thesaurus listed there either.
Is it not possible to use a thesaurus for British English?
I normally have my OpenOffice.org set to Canadian English. I opened
Write to check this, and a message popped up saying that there was an
update available if I wished to accept it.
The update was for Canadian and UK dictionaries, including the
thesaurus. I accepted the update. The Canadian thesaurus and UK
thesaurus work fine.
Just checked again and another update is available for the French
dictionary, including the thesaurus. I accepted that also.
But I on checking the extension web page I find the Canadian dictionary
(with thesaurus) but not the UK dictionary.
Most odd.
