I think you have missed one very important step: the paragraph style for the paragraph in which the German language is used. It contains the control for which language is checked for spelling. Yours probably is one of the English languages depending upon what country in which you live. Change that setting to German. Also make sure the your selection contains an ABC before the name of the language.

I'm not easy with the German system of capitalization; if I write something without capitalizing the nouns, is there a way to run a spell-checker or something which will do that?

I installed dict-de_de-igerman98_2011-06-21.oxt into OpenOffice 4.1.8 and selected "Tools/Language/For all text/German" and note that "Options/Language Settings/Language" has German as default for documents.

however spell-check breezes through without touching the document.

(a) maybe there was an error in the way I installed the template?

(b) suppose it worked, would it flag nouns without capitals?

appreciated!
