Dear Openoffice; I did not mean to imply that having three different German dictionaries was stupid. But I don't speak or read any German, so can I uninstall these dictionaries to have more room for my French and Italian dictionaries? Now that I have downloaded French and Italian, I have eight dictionaries, which just slows the system. Thanks. Sincerely; Rita Laurance
