hi uwe, another point: i downloaded a couple of minutes ago a dutch version of openoffice 1.1.1 with a built-in <working> spellchecker. so: the developers have more sense than i thought yesterday and this morning. just a case of bad - and now good! - timing so it seems.

FYI.well........i loaded up the dutch version of openoffice 1.1.0. last spell-checker (dutch, 9/4/2004) does not work: seems to have no wordlist. costed me hours to find out that this part did not work properly. rather annoying: i am a journalist publicist and really need those files in working order. a friend of mine called openoffice the worst invention since skippy: i do not agree with him for the last versions. before i had regular some unforeseen trouble with writing. as i said; in 1.1.0. it is somewhat better.
Did the usual update / upgrade. When starting, the 'reading script' dialog
came up and I smelled trouble. I could still select 'upgrade from 1.0.3'
or 'new' and clicked 'upgrade ...'.
But, alas, everything gone and I had to enter name, etc. blabla once again.
There is no export to Flash any longer, as well.
The spell-checker doesn't work either (I cannot guarantee, though, that it
worked with 1.1.0).
All in all: Not too good.
If it's again only, me; I'll manage. If I'm not the only one, though, I'd
better file a bug report.
What do the others experience ?
1.1.1 (english version), community-made together with sun, works fine so far. after i decided, frustrated, to get rid of the dutch 1.1.0 version. same problem in 1.1.1 with the dutch spellcheker as in the dutch version. so i loaded 'at the end of my patience' up from a cdrom an older, perfect version. annoying as well is the absence in 1.1.1. too of a plug for opening up .pdf-files. altogether rather sloppy, and really stupid to put an untested (?) spellcheckerversion on the openofficesite. yet: all together more promising than before when i was 'forced' to use microsoft-word instead of - long, long ago - my beloved word-perfect. it would be nice if conversion vice versa to the WP 5.1 and 6.0 version could be realized under openoffice.

in hope of conversion to and from wp, and the pdf-plug, and no disappearing settings in a next version,
