I use Ubuntu’s 6.06 TLS Desktop and Debian Sarge 3.1. I have also used Word 2000 for special cases especially when I need some language tools. Recently, I did a search for a thesaurus for Openoffice.org 2 and found a debian package called openoffice.org-thesaurus-sk_2.0.3-2_all.deb. It’s downloadable from here.
To my surprise, it loaded right away on my Ubuntu desktop and works nicely. Here’s the description from the Debian package site:
Openoffice.org is a full-featured office productivity suite that provides a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft(R) Office. This package contains an Slovak thesaurus for OpenOffice.org.
I thought I would pass this along since it works well and provides one more feature to bring Openoffice.org into the status of an industrial strength office productivity suite.
Curious, I started looking for the same thesaurus for other operating systems such as Windows and found this site called lingucomponent . You might check it out.
Fortunately, the Debian package provided me an English language version. I haven’t located one for other systems yet. If you know of one, you might let us know in the comments section.
Hopefully, you’ll find this information as useful as I did.
Tom, I use the SpellChecker and Thesaurus (in USA English and French) on Windows platphormTom, I use the spell checker and Thesaurus (in USA English and French) on Windows platform (I still need it due to some architectural programs I need...) with Ooo2.0 and I am really satisfied with that! I also use it (a Novell OOo version) on the SUSE distribution I am using.
I think the correct acronym is not TLS, but LTS (which stands for Long Term Support).
The thesaurus was not installed by default on Ubuntu 6.10 for some reason (perhaps because it takes up to much space to fit on the one cd install disk). Anyway, I found your post and installed the english thesaurus. Ctrl-F7 brings it up in Openoffice.
