I wanted to inform you that your "synonyms" feature in OpenOffice is faulty.
That's not my feature (or another other user's) but OpenOffice's.
Many times, I this feature has produced erroneous information.
Remember that no two words are exact synonyms; such help is
presumably designed to suggest words you might need when you know the
one you have entered is not quite the right one. So associated words
are what a synonym dictionary must be all about.
Try the word "DICHOTOMY" It has nothing to do with classifications.
Dictionary definitions disagree with you:
o division into two parts or classifications, esp when they are
sharply distinguished or opposed
o division of material into two parts for the purpose of classification
I wanted to send you feedback and followed the instructions in your
HELP section.
Again, not "my" section.
Tools--Options--Open Office--and then there's supposed to be an
Improvement Programme, but it isn't listed.
If you follow the help text carefully, you will see that the second
time you start a new installation of OpenOffice, you are given the
opportunity to participate in this programme or not. You must have
chosen not to: that is why you do not see the relevant entry in
Options - which is used only to switch the facility off again. See
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/OpenOffice.org_User_Feedback_Program
. But does this facility still exist?
In any case, this would be no use for your current problem, as it
merely records and reports keystrokes and so on: there would be no
record of your dislike of the offered synonyms. Instead, report
issues at the web site. See
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/HowToFileIssue and
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/ .
I am unable to manually check for updates.
Oh, you can: just go to http://www.openoffice.org/ to see if there is
a newer version.
I trust this helps.
