Description alfozavr 2007-04-04 17:11:58 UTC 
Tools - Options - Language settings - Writing aids - Options -  German spelling 
- old

I have new orthography German dictionary installed. If I enable this option, 
nothing changes, Spellchecker still marks words in old orthography as incorrect 
and proposes me neu orthography equivalents.

So this option is useless without an old orthography German dictionary 
installed. And if I install such a dictionary, why should I use the "German 
spelling - old" option?!

I also suspect that this option can make OOo Writer crash. It happened to me, a 
crash auto-report was submitted. But still, here's the description:
my dictionary.lst
DICT en GB en_GB
DICT en US en_US
DICT de DE de_frami_neu
DICT ru RU ru_RU_ie
DICT ru RU ru_RU_yo
HYPH en GB hyph_en_GB
HYPH en US hyph_en_US
HYPH de DE hyph_de_DE
HYPH ru RU hyph_ru_RU
THES en GB th_en_US_v2
THES en US th_en_US_v2
THES de DE th_de_DE_v2
THES ru RU th_ru_RU

So I opened the .sxw file (see attachement) and checked two options:
1)Tools - Options - Language settings - Writing aids - Options -  German 
spelling - old
2)Tools - Options - Language settings - Writing aids - Options - Check in all 
languages
After this clicked with right mouse button on one of the underlined words 
(autospellcheck was on) and OOo Writer crashed.
And, as I said, a crash report was autogenerated and I submitted it.

I can confirm that I was able to check 'Tools - Options - Language settings -
Writing aids - Options -  German spelling - old' without any effect and without
any warnign like "no such dict. available".

Help says:
Alte deutsche Rechtschreibung
Macht die alte deutsche Rechtschreibung zur maßgebenden Regel. Bleibt dieses
Markierfeld leer, wendet OpenOffice.org für Rechtschreibprüfung und
Silbentrennung die neuen Regeln an.

No hint how that should work, whether a special dict. is required, ...
