There is/was an OOo 1.1.5 macro that provided that functionality. What
it did was go out to websites that provide synonyms, and do the look up
for one.
Do you know that there is now over 200,000 words in the general English language and some references put it to over 500,000 words?
That is barely two percent of the number of words in the English
language, according to the editors of the Oxford English dictionary.
Now I'm wondering if I can integrate OED into OOo.

Hi All
I don't think the OED is open source! Maybe we can find a good free
dictionary to do service.
