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.

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!
