Thank you for your mail I am sorry. I found the Open Office Org. site, the download corner and there the dictionaries (including the said "dictinstaller" where the downloaded files are ONLY three gif images!), but I don't know any "wizard". I also don't know what to do with your hint: <OOo>/share/dict/ooo. Is that a directory, or an URL? How do you get there? Entering that into the browser only leads to a dnserror. A search for that particlar character string brought me to a site offering German dictionaries, but there too are many "strings", "commands" or whatever that is, that I do not understand at all. Like: Name : openoffice-dicts-German Version : 2004.01.02 Vendor : Ark Open Source Release : 1ark
Requires : /usr/lib/openoffice/program/update-dictionary.lst rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) <= 3.0.5-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 /bin/sh rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 openoffice Does that mean, you HAVE TO BE a computer crack with a lexical knowledge of computer terms/commands otherwise unintelligible to ordinary people in order to install a few dictionaries? If that is the case I simply have to forsake any hope of finding alternatives to Microsoft. My sincere apologies for being so uneducated and asking such foolish questions.

The folder that the dictionaries are installed into is something like <OOo>/share/dict/ooo as opposed to 'dictinstaller' you mention. Have a check on this directory and advise the list.
