    I installed Open Office on my PC with XP and the thesaurus function works. However, when I installed it on a laptop running Vista Home the thesaurus function does not work. The icon for it shows up on the list but but it is "greyed" out and won't bring up the thesaurus. Any suggestions about how to get this working?

    You could pretend that you live in Oceania circa 1984. Destruction of language is a beautiful thing there. Doubleplus good?

    I don't understand. Did you not have anything else to do?
