English[USA] thesaurus
I just noticed that my AOO 3.4.0 for US does not have a thesaurus.
It does have an English [USA] dictionary extension. What is needed to
obtain this?

Never Mind...
Hagar, you are correct, I read the thread on the forum, removed the
Canadian and, just to be sure, Australian English extensions - re-start
of AOO and the Thesaurus is active.
Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit) / Unity for the runtime environment, just now, BTW

Well, that's strange, I've the thesaurus on my Ubuntu 12.04 system (64bit).
There is thread about that on the forum, see: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=53887
Haven't checked my Vista system.

Howdy Jero son of Wales, Dan, et al
well, twir the it were so easy...
Problem that I see is that I can't find a En or En_US or En_UK or.. oxt
with a thesaurus. I can find one for En_CA, alright, well I can pretend
to be north of the border for a bit...but installing to 3.4 does not
activate it...hmm, makes sense as there is no En_CA language pack for
3.4 so no way to tell the application 'Eh, be a canuk for a bit..will
yah'..
so I think what one has here is a huge opportunity for anyone wishing to
make a very nice contribution - an English thesaurus - I don't know how
much work that is, more then a weekend I suppose *chuckling*.
Unless, and I'd be very happy if this were so, someone knows of where to
lay their hands on a file, currently?

Hi Dan
So I need an dictionary extension! You mention an English (USA), I am
Welsh, and work in both English (UK) and Welsh (Brythonic (British
Language)) that should be fun in translation. So I need to download a USA
English extension, and with the thesaurus be in that? Anyway many thanks
from an old tired Welshman. Diolch yn fawr (thank you very much).
Best regards Jero mab Cymru (Jero son of Wales).

Not built-in, but Artha is a nice Thesaurus and dictionary. Free.
