Cannot activate thesaurus
Cannot activate thesaurus
I've just bought an Acer Aspire One which runs on a Linux platform and has OpenOffice preinstalled. The Write application is fine except the thesaurus is greyed out, plus the F7 function key doesn't work.

Re: Cannot activate thesaurus
Look in Tools> Options> Language Settings> Writing aids. You'll see three panes of options. In the top pane, Available language modules, should be a thesaurus option. Is its checkbox selected? If not, that could be your problem. But if it is, then click on the thesaurus entry to select it and click Edit. Select the thesaurus option and check to see what language it's assigned.gabsbrown wrote:I've just bought an Acer Aspire One which runs on a Linux platform and has OpenOffice preinstalled.

If it's the correct language, next check the language assigned to the default paragraph style. OOo matches thesaurus language to paragraph style language, and to character style language, so it doesn't use the wrong one when the author writes in more than one language.
Cheers!

Re: Cannot activate thesaurus
Thanks but I have checked all that and everything is set to the same language- US English. Any other ideas?

Re: Cannot activate thesaurus
I think that the thesaurus has not been installed at all. See here: [Tutorial] Spell check and Language configuration for more information about the files to check.

Re: Cannot activate thesaurus
I was having the same problem with the Thesaurus in 2.4.1 and also after downloading 3.0. So I went through the steps foretold in the other posts in this thread and everything was checked & OK. So I "unchecked" & rechecked the Thesaurus box and that seemed to get it going. I now have the Thesaurus available. Might of been "stuck logic"....all I know is it works now...http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... =9154#[url][/img][/list]

Re: Cannot activate thesaurus
Hi! I had the same problem - all because there was no default language defined for the paragraph. Go to tools/language and set it there. I hope this helps.
