The Thesaurus seems to work OK for me, but I tried it on a ".odt" file.
I have noticed that "Word Count" doesn't seem to work on a .doc file
either.
Try saving the file as .odt, then close it and reopen it, and see if the
Thesaurus works. I suspect some of these tools key off internal data
fields that are NOT FILLED IN when you open a "foreign" file type, only
when you open a .od? file.

I just tried to the use thesaurus in OOo 2.3.0 Writer for the first time

Tools->Languages->[grayed out] Thesaurus. This has only happened in one
document I have (so far), but why there and not elsewhere I don't know.
I have checked the document properties and there's nothing special about
it - it's a "Word 2000/XP" .doc file, mime application type msword, and
I have hundreds of those, all of which show the thesaurus (and it
works). I checked the file ownership, and it wasn't "mine" so I
chown'ed it to my user id, but there's still no thesaurus. I have
modified the file numerous times under my user id, and still - no
thesaurus.
What gives?
What's about checking the language settings?
