11/21/07 -- HELP! I just installed update 11.3.8 on my mac laptop.
Since doing so the thesaurus no longer displays synonyms as it used
to, what can I do, that is a valuable and much used feature? I did
find that the words are there on a list, just not visible, as when I
scroll down where the list of synonyms used to be I get highlight in
blue and when I click "LOOK UP" it changes to a new word. How do I get
the list to be readable again?? Jeff

Hi Jeff -

Since you didn't mention having done so, the first suggestion is to run Disk
Utility - Repair Disk Permissions & see if that clears it up. AFAIK, nothing
about the 11.3.8 update should have caused such a problem, but I've a
sneaking suspicion that you may have also applied an OS X update in the not
too distant past. If so the combination of the two may have caused a
permissions snafu. Perhaps the issue actually arose earlier on & this is the
first you've noticed it. Even if it doesn't help, it can't hurt.

If that doesn't resolve it post back with further info - as well as noting
any fairly new or other software installs or changes - they can also cause
problems of this sort. Other steps can be taken if this doesn't do it.
