Hi Helmut,
Unfortunately, you have come across a current issue with upgrades of English
Office 2003 versions to a German Office2007 version via "proofing tools". We
are currently in the process of repairing the upgrade process such that it
will function as you expect it to.
In the mean time, may I suggest that you try to install the German version
of Office2007 which is available for download on:
http://www.microsoft.com/germany/office/2007/beta/betaversion-bestellen.mspx
If the download time due to the large program size is prohibitive, you may
also order a DVD which would incur some fees for shipping and handling. Also,
please know that the current issue of the C't magazine includes a free copy
of the German Office2007 Beta2 version. I assume that this popular German
computer magazine is also sold in Austria, my apologies, if I am mistaken. (I
was actually born in Vienna, Austria, but that was long before computer
magazines

).
With personal greetings to my former home country ... Andrea
