Re: [libreoffice-users] How to Enable Thesaurus

Sorry, Artha is not something I have dealt with, except testing it out 
on my Ubuntu system.

If you think there needs to be a page listing all of the possible 
dictionary and thesaurus options for Ubuntu and Windows, well if I have 
the time I might think about doing one.

But for now, I have a good one for LO within my .oxt 
dictionary/thesaurus/hyphenation files.  Outside of LO, I thing Artha 
might be a useful one.
