Grueazi Ludwig!
Du bist in guten Haenden. You will find answers to all your questions
here. There are at least two among us who speak German--Wolfgang
(native) and myself (fluent second language), so anything not clear
to you, address in German to myself or Wolfgang.
Manuals are available in pdf format--Brian Henderson is the man to
contact.
As for reprogramming your keyboard, umlauts are easy to do; ess-zett
will look like a Greek beta, if that is acceptable (why are you using
it now--post-Rechtsschreibreform?). I will help walk you through the
process, off list (email me directly, or Skype). ASCII does not do
German quote marks, but ANSI may do--please chime here, those of you
with the ANSI upgrade. Failing that, we can surely find some other
solution (e.g., import to some layout program, such as Pagemaker or
Nota Bene, which has a Xywrite import filter which converts English
quotes to German ones).
I'm not the printer or bibliography specialist on this list, but
others will chime in. To my knowledge, most printer problems have
been solved, and bibliographies can be formatted to any standard.
