Is that the way to get OOo New Thesaurus? or is it something else?

This is a MySpell system and I have a Hunspell spellchecker installed. I download the .deb I found for the mythes-en files, and installed it. I did not see any difference. I did not reboot my Ubuntu 10.04 system though.

There are packages in Debian testing you can install to add support for
quite a number of languages in LO.

There´s the package "mythes-fr" that seems to provide the thesaurus for
French, for example.

I think installing this package is one way to add thesaurus support to
LO in Debian.

There are openoffice-* packages depending on the mythes-* packages
described as intermittent packages to support the switching from
openoffice to libreoffice:

,---- [ lee@yun:~$ apt-cache show openoffice.org-thesaurus-fr ]

Package: openoffice.org-thesaurus-fr
Source: openoffice.org
Version: 1:3.3.0-10
Installed-Size: 152
Maintainer: Debian LibreOffice Maintainers <debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Depends: mythes-fr
Description: French Thesaurus for LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org
This is a transitional package, replacing the OpenOffice.org packaging
with the LibreOffice packaging.
.
It can be safely removed after an upgrade.

You have two different spell checkers installed? Can you use both with
LO?

I download the .deb I found for the mythes-en files, and installed it.

Rebooting shouldn´t be required; restarting LO should suffice. I don´t
have any thesauri packages installed, so I don´t know. I´d expect them
to just work out of the box.

The ability to unassign an icon from a function seems to be a missing
feature, so be careful.

I believe it should be Modify -> Restore Default Command

Cool, that works, thanks :slight_smile: Perhaps this option needs to be renamed to
"Restore Default Icon"?

I do not know really, since I never had OOo on this Ubuntu install and I saw OOo New Thesaurus in my Writing Aids list, along with the Hunspell spellchecker. I did not see any differences when I ran the MyThres-en .deb install to add that "support".

I am told that Hunspell is based on Myspell, but I do not know the difference.

I download the .deb I found for the mythes-en files, and installed it.
I did not see any difference. I did not reboot my Ubuntu 10.04 system
though.

Some of the English dictionaries have thesaurus built in, according to the Extension Manager's listing for them.

What comes "out-of-the-box", I do not know, since I have many extension installed post-install of LibreOffice 3.3.x.

So it will depend on the language you have as your default installation, and the language packs that are installed. Then if you install all the proper name, medical, and other dictionary/writing-aid extension, you get a lot of writing aid option to work with. I have many that I have as my default group, with many more locally to choose from, if needed.

I believe that "Restore Default Command" restores both the icon as
well as the command name (they can be renamed). So maybe calling it
"Restore Default Icon" would be a little misleading.

Hm, then it might be renamed to "Restore command-defaults" :slight_smile: "Restore
Default Command" now makes me wonder to what the command would be
restored: to it's name and/or icon or to its command ...
