Description Lyle 2021-08-02 22:21:07 UTC
Description:
Since upgrading from version 6.2 to 7.1 of LibreOffice, I have noticed in Writer the Thesaurus option is always greyed out and non-functional. Setting language on the document did not help, and no other options appear to make Thesaurus functional. Please advise how to fix! 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open new document
2. Type a few sentences. 
3. Select a word like "dire" and try to use Thesaurus.

Actual Results:
No function

Expected Results:
Thesaurus should pop up with antonyms, synonyms, etc. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Could you try this link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps ?
Then if it doesn't work:
- uninstall 7.1.2
- run a Windows registry cleaner (eg: ccleaner)
- download 7.1.5 (from official website https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/)
- install it
- test again
