Hello again,
Finally I was able to find the spellchecker, by accident! It was well hidden. Searching didnt help at all poor site! Testing was at my VMware Instance and went good so far Happily I installed your Product onto my Laptop. But what a disappointment! * OOffice tries to send some messages via Port 80 about twice a minute! What for? Who needs such information anyway? And it is against German and EU Laws to reveal any Information, the user is not informed about! I had to train Kaspersky first to block that nasty talkative behavior of your Product! * Then, after a good start I Installed the (old rules) spellchecker (to make it work properly the regular one must be deinstalled (!) first) and managed to define my preferred defaults. Now using Franklin Font as default, all special German signs (öäüß ) are displayed correctly. The spellchecker corrects the new spelling dass into daß exactly right. After those tests I saved the document. After reopening it shows instead of daß: da°!!!! I tried all options for saving every time the same! Opening the same test sheet (produced with OOffice-writer) with MS Word results in correct visualization of all special Chars! So the Version 311, with the nice PDF feature is not usable. After an hour of testing, I had to uninstall the product. Do better in the future! Chris Keller _____ Von: chris.kel...@csbkeller.de [mailto:chris.kel...@csbkeller.de] Gesendet: Sonntag, 6.

In MS-Products, as well as in all ADOBE Products, its possible to choose what rules should be used. I was looking hard to find a German spellchecker alike in Open Office couldnt find it. Can you help? If not available, that could be the reason to stick to the (oldie) MS Office. Hoping for your help, Sincerely Chris
