Hi Frank,
I use the English default user interface which came with the English
download. I compose a text in English UK so spellchecker etc. are all
set to English UK. Now when I try to start the thesaurus it never finds
a term, even not with basic words like 'word' because there is no
English Uk thesaurus.
For every word I try to look up I have to manually change the language
to English US and there - surprise - you get all you need. But this is
real work. So, how do the non-American English users tweak the thesaurus
so that they conturn the manual change of language when they look up a
term ?
By editing a file it can be done that en-UK uses the same thesaurus as
en-US.
You need to edit the file "share\dict\ooo\dictionary.lst" (make sure
to have a copy of it, just in case...). Also make sure to not have
an Office running.
In that file there should be a line that looks sth like
THES en US th_en_US
Where the 4th entry denotes the thesaurus file (without extension) to
use and the 2nd and 3rd entry specify the locale it will be used for.
Thus you just need to add an additionally entry where you change the
locale from en-US to en-UK:
THES en UK th_en_US
This way en-UK will now use the same thesaurus file as en-US.
After saving the file you just have to restart your Office and
everything should be fine.
Regards,
Thomas
