But do you have the spell checker icon activated? It is the ABC with the red
wavy line below it. It will be enclosed in a box if you do. I always keep
this active. So, when I installed a German dictionary and set the paragraph
style to German, it automatically marked misspelled words in German. For
example, I typed, mench. It first corrected that mensch then flagging that as
misspelled. The final correction was to Mensch. (This is the Austria
dictionary.
that's sweet but it doesn't seem to work here. I see the ABC-checkmark
in the paragraph style and it also appears on the main menu next
to "Spelling and Grammar".
however now the situation is dirty since I installed the LanguageTool
extension (as recommended by Rory) which may have changed things.
in a leisure moment I will uninstall it and look again to see if I can
do it without LanguageTool. for simplicity's sake that would be my
preference.

I think you have missed one very important step: the paragraph style
for the paragraph in which the German language is used. It contains the
control for which language is checked for spelling. Yours probably is one
of the English languages depending upon what country in which you live.
Change that setting to German. Also make sure the your selection contains
an ABC before the name of the language.

I just took a look at the style and it says the language is German.
next to "German (Germany)" I see a teeny 'ABC' with a check mark under it.
so far then so good.

Greets!
I'm not easy with the German system of capitalization; if I write
something without capitalizing the nouns, is there a way to run a
spell-checker or something which will do that?
I installed dict-de_de-igerman98_2011-06-21.oxt into OpenOffice 4.1.8 and
selected "Tools/Language/For all text/German" and note that
"Options/Language Settings/Language" has German as default for documents.
however spell-check breezes through without touching the document.
(a) maybe there was an error in the way I installed the template?
(b) suppose it worked, would it flag nouns without capitals?
appreciated!
