thesaurus
I had a previous version of open office when I had the thesaurus on the tool bar (or task bar - I forget which it is) and have tried to get it with no luck. I know you can press ctrl+f7, but having the icon was so much easier.
Hope you can help.
David.

o Identify the toolbar that you wish to include this - perhaps the
Standard toolbar?
o With that toolbar open, click the down-arrow on the shaded
rectangle at the right end of that toolbar and select Customise Toolbar... .
o Click Add... .
o Under Category, select Options; under Commands, select Thesaurus.
o Click Add and Close.
o With Thesaurus selected in the Customise dialogue, use the up and
down arrows in the dialogue to move the new button to where you want
it - perhaps near Spelling and Grammar... and AutoSpellCheck?
o Click OK.
I trust this helps.

In addition to Brian's excellent answer, when you right mouse click on a
word the context (pop-up) menu that opens will have an entry at the
bottom called "Synonyms" with sub-menu options, the last of which is
"Thesaurus". Selecting this option opens the Thesaurus dialog you are
familiar with.
Hope this helps.
