Thanks, but these are installs from the LO site. The .debs are just fine
& do include the thesaurus on my linux installs. It's the Windows
install that doesn't. I mentioned that was/is odd, as that is the exact
opposite of what Asterix is seeing& he installed from the .debs as
well. I'm installing LO 3.4.1rc1 on WinXP now to see if there is any
difference in that version compared to the LO 3.4.0 (Windows).
...
Follow-up to my own:
Thesaurus _is_ in LO 3.4.1rc1 that I just installed on WinXP.
And on another WinXP virtual machine:
LibreOffice 3.4.0
OOO340m1 (Build:12)
Also includes the thesaurus. So I must have done a non standard install
on the other WinXP. I'd quietly jump back into my box now... sorry for
the noise.
Yes, I see the OOo Thesaurus listed on my Ubuntu version for the LO site
.debs.
OK I just checked 3.3.3 on my Vista laptop. It also had the thesaurus
under Tools>Language.
For both systems, I went from 3.3.2 to 3.3.3 and never installed 3.4.0
or OOo after the computer was wiped and the OS was reinstalled. So I
have in on Windows, but the other person does not.
I do know that on my Ubuntu system I have
English spelling and hyphenation dictionary, and thesaurus dated 2010.03-16
Australian . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . dated 2008.12.15
Canadian . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . showing version 2.0.0
plus a few other English [several countries] dictionaries and lists
[names, chemistry, medical, etc.] that have no thesaurus included.
I do not know if any of the three thesaurus listings have the OOo
Thesaurus as part of it, but one of them, or all three could.
I also have;
Language Tool 1.2 [1.3 crashes],
Lightproof (en_US) 0.1 [this grammar checker will not stay checked],
Linguist 1.5,
Pagination 1.3.10,
Writer's Extras,
and Writer's Tools,
among other extensions I have added to my Ubuntu version. I have at
least 100 .oxt extension [other than dictionaries] in my private list on
my desktop's drive but I do not really know any more I should include
for writing aids.
I would love to have one that would check the text and for the words
that have several spelling [Aunt, ant, too, to, two, etc.] the system
would let me know and ask which one I really meant to use.
Also it would be wonderful to have the spelling word option list add a
very brief dictionary/thesaurus description to the words listed so you
could make the right choice for words you are not sure which option is
the correct one you need.
I wish the thesaurus was not buried several menus deep and have a
toolbar button like the spellchecker does. It would be more convenient
to use that way.
[Was "convenient" the right word I wanted from the list offered in
Thunderbird's spell checking system? I had to enter it into LO and use
its thesaurus option to see it meant "handy" so it was the right word.
Be nice not to need the extra thesaurus lookup to find out.]
