Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't completely understand what you
mean.

1) The only version on openoffice.org that will install is the same
version that I currently have. Note: You cannot install 2.0x on a
64-bit Debian distro because the .deb files do not exist yet. Someone
once told me of a repository that had 64-bit .deb files for 2.0, but
when I added the repositories it turned out that the repository was
there, and there were pointers to the files, but when I tried to
install I got 404 error messages -- the files were not actually in the
repository.

2) if you meant that there is a separate thesaurus file that I can grab
and just place in some secret folder, that sounds good. But I don't see
anything like that on openoffice.org. On the other hand, it's a huge
site, so maybe it's there and I just couldn't find it. If so, kindly
point me to it.

3) It doesn't make any sense that Ubuntu would disable this feature.
Why would they do that? And how could they, even if they wanted to?

4) I am at home where I am constantly connected via ethernet to the
router and cable modem.
