I should have mentioned that the problem only occurred when I upgraded to
Office 2007. There is a English (UK) dictionary as well as the US version.

However after the upgrade Outlook Express only had a French dictionary
(wierd that) so I
downloaded an English (US) from the web.

I have no problems in Word but in Outlook Express (Tools / Options /
Spelling) there is still only French or English (US) available.

I am not sure where to find the Office Proofing Tools so perhaps you can
help me find them!

Thanks,

Noel

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
