Thesaurus, Translate function is dead in Outlook 2007

Asked by trueluck3 in Microsoft Office Suite, Microsoft Word

Tags: Outlook 2007, Office 2007, Thesaurus, Microsoft

For some reason, when I create a new mail message (or while reading an incoming message) in Outlook 2007 and I want to use the thesaurus on a word, it will give me a list of suggestions (if there are any) and allow me to change the word.  However, when I don't see what I want in the list, there is nothing in the list or I'd just like a definition and click the "Thesaurus..." option, it no longer opens the right hand thesaurus pane (the dock that opens on the right when you normally choose that option).  The menu simply accepts the mouse click and goes away (item is not "grayed out").  The same is true when using the translate option.  These functions both work in word, PowerPoint and other office apps.  I did a repair on the Office installation, and the problem is still there.  I'll try to give you some screenshots for a look.
