I have a spreadsheet that has several columns of English text and ONE column with German text. The German spellchecking dictionary *IS* installed.

When I try to run a spellcheck, Calc "naturally" assumes, that everything is in English. Unfortunately I could not yet figure out, how to tell Calc to use only for column D the German spellchecking dictionary.

Selecting the column and then Tools -> Language does NOT allow to set the German dictionary. Neither is this possible, when I try Format -> column etc. It **IS** however possible to select the text within a particular cell, then Format -> Character -> Language -> German. But since there are about 1500 such cells, I would prefer to do the setting in "one sweep". Is that possible?

Yes.
o  Click the column header to select the column (or select a range of cells).
o Go to Format | Cells... | Font | Language (or right-click | Format Cells... | Font | Language) and select the required language there.

I trust this helps.
