Canadian Dictionary language problem

[Matthew W. I. Dunn]

I'm using Office 2007 on XP SP3.

Does anyone know why Spell Check using the English (Canadian) setting would
ignore the word, "centre," when it's misspelled as "center"?

I write in U.S. English, but the custom dictionary of the document I'm
writing is set (for various purposes) to Canadian English. When I write,
"center," the dictionary doesn't pick it up in Spell Check and suggest
"centre" as per Canadian usage -- but, it does note when I spell "colour" as
per American "color."

The whole document is set to Canadian English. I went into the Custom
Dictionary under WORD OPTIONS > PROOFING and checked to see if I had added
"center" to the Canadian Custom Dictionary. Not there.

Both spellings are acceptable. It depends on the preference of the author as
to which one is used. The 'centre' spelling is the original British but, like
tyre, is not necessarily how Canadians have to spell it.
