I'm going to try a reinstall, but thought I'd document what I'm seeing.

OOo 2.0.

Selecting a word and pressing ^F7 brings up the thesaurus, but there are never any suggestions.

OK, so I run the File | Wizard to update the dicts. The update alerts me to the availability of a v.11.6 DictOOo installer, but errors out when it attempts the DL.

OK ... so I proceed an update the dict and thes for English.

Go back and try selecting a word and pressing ^F7 ... again brings up the thesaurus, but no suggestions.

Contact the author of DictOOo. He quickly gets back to me, sends me to a Web site where I can manually DL the 1.6 update. Installs OK. Still no thesauraus suggestions.

On a hunch, I go into the OpenOffice folder, and delete all the non-English dicts and thes.

Viola! The thesaurus works.  For a few weeks.

Yesterday I noticed the thesaurus was greyed out as a menu option. Restarted OOo. Rebooted Windoze. No luck.

Re-ran the File | Wizard and reinstalled the dicts. Now they don't provide suggestions, again.
