I don't think there is a UK Thesaurus available, but you can get ooo to use the new US English one. Close down openoffice, including the quickstarter if you are on Windows. Find the file dictionary.lst, which is normally (for 2beta) in [openoffice installation path]/share/dict/ooo Depending on your operating system, you may have to be logged in as administrator/root to edit it. Open the file in an ordinary text editor like notepad on Windows, and look for the line: THES en US th_en_US_v2 Copy and paste the line to a blank line in the file. The alter US to GB, so it reads: THES en GB th_en_US_v2 Save the file and restart openoffice In Tools, Options,Language Settings, make sure the languages dialogue box is all set to UK, and the Writing aids has thesaurus ticked. You should then be able to use the thesaurus - and it recognizes UK spellings! You can vote for Issue 44793 to get it set up automatically. -- John [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
