Japanese thesaurus

[Blogie]

I just purchased and installed a language pack for Japanese (Office 2007),
trusting that there was a Japanese thesaurus included. It says so on the page
advertising the Office 2007 language pakcs, that there are thesauri included.
But after installing the Japanese language pack, I kept getting an error
message that the thesaurus for Japanese wasn't found. What's up with that?

According to this page
(http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/FX101171811033.aspx), the Japanese
language pack doesn't contain a thesaurus. Neither does the full version of
Japanese Office. Sorry for the confusion.

If you need a thesarus for Japanese, Yahoo has a free online thesaurus
available at http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/.

Thanks for that, Todd!

Now I have another problem. I've just upgraded to the Windows 7 beta, and
the installer for the Japanese language pack won't run. I keep getting the
error message that the installer has failed. Any ideas?

I don't know what could be causing that. You should ask that question in one
of the Win7 Beta discussion groups; they would probably know.
