First of all I want to thank you for your passion with me. I was pretty much stressed at that moment... Your colleague Roderick Singleton did sent me a text with the right hint - and now it works, finally I can check my writing in Dutch after 15 years of living here!
Thank you very much for your quick response and for the right tip.

Languages in OpenOffice

To obtain the relevant dictionaries, go to
   File -> Wizards -> Install new dictionaries
and download the ones you want.

To set the default language for your installation, go to
   Tools -> Options -> Language Settings / Languages
and set the default for all your documents. If there is a
dictionary for your selection, there will be a tick mark against it.

It is important to remember that language is an attribute of the text
of a document, and can be set differently in different parts of
the same document. This allows foreign language quotes to be separately
checked against the appropriate dictionary.

To set the default for a document that is different from the
default setting for all other documents, when you have opened
the document (or started a new one) go to the Default style
and change it there. F11 (or Format -> Styles and Formatting) brings up
the style list. Right click on Default (or the root style for your document)
go to Modify -> Font tab where you can set the language for this style
and will be carried down to other styles derived from it unless otherwise
changed.

To change the language for a piece of text, highlight the text and go to
   Format -> Character -> Font tab (or right click -> Character -> Font)
where you can set the language for just that portion of text.
