Description: I would like to request the inclusion of a built‑in thesaurus in LibreOffice Writer. While the program already provides spell‑checking and dictionary support, many users rely on a thesaurus to improve their writing style, find synonyms, and avoid repetition. Use Case: Students, professionals, and writers often need quick access to synonyms without leaving the application. Currently, users must rely on external tools or extensions, which interrupts workflow. Benefit: Adding a native thesaurus would make LibreOffice more competitive with other word processors, improve productivity, and enhance the user experience for non‑native speakers and writers aiming for richer vocabulary. Thank you for considering this enhancement. Actual Results: n/a Expected Results: n/a Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: n/a

This already exists with integrated MyThes Thesaurus. But depends on the locale for which Thesaurus data have been built [1]. By os build may require installation of associated language pack, Windows builds prebundle them all. Quality/extent of the thesaurus also varies by language source lists. The dialog is launched from Tools -> Thesaurus... or with a <Ctrl><F7>, if issues check usage in the Help or the Ask site [2]. IMHO => WFM =-ref-= [1] locales with MyThes Thesaurus built by TDF: th_de_CH_v2.dat th_de_DE_v2.dat th_en_US_v2.dat th_eo.dat th_es_v2.dat th_hu_HU_v2.dat th_id_ID_v2.dat th_ar.dat th_bg_BG_v2.dat th_sl_SI_v2.dat th_ca_ES_v3.dat th_da_DK.dat th_sk_SK_v2.dat th_it_IT_v2.dat th_sv_SE.dat th_uk_UA.dat th_is.dat th_lv_LV_v2.dat th_nb_NO_v2.dat th_ne_NP_v2.dat th_nn_NO_v2.dat th_pl_PL_v2.dat th_pt_BR.dat th_pt_PT.dat th_ro_RO_v2.dat th_ru_RU_M_aot_and_v2.dat [2] https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/thesaurus-en-gb-not-working-on-7-0-6-how-to-fix-it/65354
