Installing Thesaurus from older Office suites jkriordan 11/10/2008 3:34:07 PM When I first attempted to use the Thesaurus, OneNote 2007 prompted me to insert my Office 2000 Premium disc, the most recent full Office package I have. The install evidently failed. OneNote began giving me a 'buffer overrun' error message and forced the program to terminate. I fixed this with a Restore rollback. However, I'd really like to get Thesaurus working. I really don't want to buy Office 2007. I have Works 2002, with Word. Will that have the Thesaurus module, so I can install it?

Re: Installing Thesaurus from older Office suites "Erik Sojka (MVP)" <esojka[ at ]ms-onenote.net.nospam> 11/11/2008 12:56:36 AM The thesaurus should be part of OneNote. You shouldn't need to buy a different version of Office to get it. I doubt grabbing a file from an older/different version of Office or from another program entirely would help. Can you run the Office Diagnostics from the Help menu and see if that finds any missing files? It should prompt you for the OneNote install CD if it's missing anything. =?Utf-8?B?amtyaW9yZGFu?= <jkriordan[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in news:18071517-C93D-4690-8D93-FB763BE98C2E[ at ]microsoft.com: [Quoted Text] > When I first attempted to use the Thesaurus, OneNote 2007 prompted me > to insert my Office 2000 Premium disc, the most recent full Office > package I have.

Thanks a million! One learns day by day! (and when stopping this process the location probably would be the graveyard). Although the question of a "Thesaurus" for many long years had been one of the main issues in my main IT project and several generations of students did work on that, I would have never thought that something like that might be available in my beloved ON <g>. Will have to check on this a bit more tomorrow and run some series of tests the other week, Thanks again Rainald

Shame on me! I've been using ON since the Beta days and did never come across the Thesaurus feature ... {siiiigh} Rainald

RE: Installing Thesaurus from older Office suites John Guin [msft] 11/11/2008 8:16:14 PM Hello, I have a few questions for you. 1. What version of Windows do you have? 2. What order did you install Office and OneNote? I assume you had Office 2000 first, the installed OneNote 2007. 3. What applications with Office 2000 did you install? If you installed an Office 2000 app that uses the thesaurus, does it work as expected? -- Thanks, John Guin OneNote Test Team http://blogs.msdn.com/johnguin "jkriordan" wrote: [Quoted Text] > When I first attempted to use the Thesaurus, OneNote 2007 prompted me to > insert my Office 2000 Premium disc, the most recent full Office package I > have.
