Hi :)
Would it be reasonably easy to add a link to the Artha one on Tim's dictionary Extensions page?  If 
that page could be a one-stop-shop it might be good for keeping track of all those things and a 
good one to sign-post people to.  
Regards from
Tom :)

How can I enable the Thesaurus?

If I go to Tools > Language, Thesaurus is greyed out

If I go to Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids
I see OpenOffice.org New Thesaurus and it is ticked.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks

Don't know about LO Thesaurus, but a nice free-standing one, which also doubles as a dictionary, 
is Artha.  Check your repos for that--it's in PCLOS.

Yes, I have Artha as a stand-alone one.  You can get it off the distros as well, and I believe 
there is a Windows version as well.

But if you need one to be used in LibreOffice, my set of English dictionaries have one that has 
over 140,000 word/phrase listings to get a result from.  All you have to do is download and install 
one of my American English, British English, or Canadian English, .oxt files and install it through 
the Extension Manager.

You can get them at the Extension Center http://extensions.libreoffice.org/ and look for the 
Dictionaries for any version.  Or you can go to my portal and download them from there. 
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.4-installs/dictionary.html#english  They start with "kpp" in the 
dictionary file list.  There are a total of 11 dictionaries to choose from.  All you have to do is 
choose the version of English [American, British, or Canadian], and choose the spelling word list 
count size [98K, 217K, 390K, and 638K words in the list].  You can install all of them, but only 
keep one of each English version enabled at a time.  Hopefully, soon I will be uploading an update 
with about 1K of computer technical words and terms that were missing from these word lists.  I 
have been busy so I will need a bit of time to make the updates available online in the Extension 
Center and my portal.
