The problem is in the English language extension that is included in the EN-us version of AOO. The extension has a number of variants; Canadian, Australian and others. One of the variants is causing a conflict with the US dictionary. The solution is to remove all the English dictionaries except ''English spelling any hyphenation dictionaries & thesaurus 2010.08.16''.

Just downloaded the newest version. My Thesaurus is gone -- in that it is no longer highlighted when I look under the OO options/ writer. How do I turn it back on? Please help because I use my Thesaurus option extensively. It's easier than pulling out the big paper printed volume.
