Re: [libreoffice-users] How to Enable Thesaurus

Hi :)
Ahh, i wasn't think of being that organised.  I was just thinking of adding a link to the page that 
we already have.  That would make your Extensions page a central point which would be great imo as 
there is a lot of great stuff there and other packages are possibly not quite so good even before 
doing more work on it.
Regards from
Tom :)

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.
