Thanks to all who have tried to help me - in vain. Cyrillic fonts and keyboard layout I had already installed in OS (Windows XP home). Word perfect, which was installed on my new PC when I bought it (instead of MS Word on the one I used before), recognized automatically my Russian Word-files and opened them correctly with the original layout an cyrillic characters. OOo writer continues to prefer Hebrew, even though I managed at last to install with the aid of DicOOo.sxw the Russian module from PackFull.zip. In "Extras" - "Optionen" - "Spracheinstellungen" - ... Russian dictionaries and spell-checker were marked then installed. But "Extras" - "Sprache" showed only the symbol for spell-checking. I thought it was here where I could/should choose the language of my actuel document. Other strange phenomenon: When I enter a Cyrillic font (Time1TCY e.g.)in the respective box of the writer menue, only the keys for the German Umlaute (öäü) produce the Cyrillic characters corresponding to Russian keyboard layout. As to the rest - latin: Times New Roman. If I were not convinced, still, that all that annoying mischief is due only to my inexperience with PC (and with PC-English), I would send to hell your OOo. I really need my poor brain for other jobs. Apart this problem of multilingual use, I have been so far quite satisfied with OOo (about ten days experience). So what?
