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.

It may also be that you will need to use a more sophisticated tool
than OpenOffice provides. Consider checking if languagetool.org
offer a version to handle German.
this looks promising.
ah, this seems to work!
this will allow me to persist in my lazy English-language ways and
still put out somewhat correct German-language text!
thank you!

Greets!
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!
