Check your "thesaurus" packages (dpkg -l | grep -i thesaurus) and look
for the OOo's italian one ("-i10n" packages are mostly for the UI -

It's installed, apparenly...

How weird :-?

Well, if we attend to this notice:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries

"(...) IMPORTANT NOTE: From OpenOffice.org 3.0 on the dictionary wizard
is no longer available -- All new dictionaries are now available via the
Extensions Repository."

You may try the extension (as suggested) and check if that works:

And what about English English?? Surely a reasonable concept, but:

Dutch Nederlands Dutch spelling and hyphenation Dictionary
Engligh English Chemistry Dictionary
English English dictionaries with fixed dash handling and new ligature
and phonetic suggestion support
English (Australian) English (Australian) English Australian Dictionary
English (Canadian) English (Canadian) Canadian English Spell Checking,
Hyphenation and Thesaurus
English (New Zealand) English (New Zealand) English New Zealand
Dictionary English (South African) English (South African) South African
English spell checking dictionary
English (US) English (US) US English Spell Checking Dictionary
Esperanto Esperanto Esperantilo - spell check, grammar checker and
thesaurus for Esperanto language

(Lines before and after shown to illustrate that I have not simply
omitted it. It actually belongs between Canada and New Zealand.)

When is English English going to get a look in?? I work in OOo without a
spell checker because I am so fed up with being told that honor is right
and honour is wrong, fantasize is right and fantasise is wrong. Etc.
And I like to use a spell checker because I am a lousy typist and an even
worse proof-reader.

My lovely Kmail spell checker just tried to correct honor and fantasize!!

US, OK. I don't like it, but they are numerous. But Australian,
Canadian, New Zealand and South Africa get a mention and we don't. It is
called English. Surely the English English should get a look in??

openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb

Thanks for the help, but that is already installed. I installed it when I
installed OOo.
