Installing Office' Proofing Tools should do it. You should then be able to
choose English (UK) on the Spelling tab in Options.

I discovered that there was not spell checker operating when I upgraded to
the latest IE and tried to use Outlook Express. I ended up downloading a
dictionary online but it is in American English and not British English!

I have a British English spell checker working in Microsoft Office - is
there any way I can get OE to use this?

Thanks,

Noel
