I assume you have approved that OOo should look for updates (in the welcome wizard). Another point where OOo will try to open a connection is the improvement program. But also here you will be asked for permission. Without a permission OOo won't try to connect. > * Then, after a good start I Installed the (old rules) spellchecker > (to make it work properly the regular one must be deinstalled (!) first) and > managed to define my preferred defaults.

OOo surely is able to store the documents' text correctly. If you got a problem with your umlauts, I assume that you have stored your document as a pure text file. It *might* be possible that OOo's pure text filter didn't guess the encoding on loading correctly, but even then you can get the correct result by using the filter "Text (encoded)". If you have stored your document in ODT or doc format, I doubt that the error you found will happen without some action from your side that you forgot to meniotn. We have several millions of users and in all the years I never saw a single case where someone reported that. If you just open a new document, type in "daß" and save it, you will get it again when you reopen it.
