How do I get to use English (Canada) dictionary rather than Englis

[Frustrated by Microsoft]

I cannot believe it but there is no way to turn off English (US) in favour of
English (Canada). I realize there are only 30 milliion Canadians but come on
Microsoft - let us use our language...

If you ask properly, I can tell you how you can use your language. Why
don't you like English (USA)? Is it because they can't spell colour or
labour? I don't think you guys are any better either.

Ask me nicely, and I, your British colonial master, will teach you how
you can use your own language in Microsoft products.

Hope this helps.

I have English UK set as the default in my Active Directory Templates. Also the regional settings are confirmed to be English UK. However, the spell checker only recognises the English US spelling. Can someone direct me to the approprite place to get this fixed. Will it be fixed? I'm in the process of installing Office 2007 company wide and this will not look good. The powers that be may have me send it back for a refund.

Millie,

I am using Outlook 2007. The regional settings are already set for English
UK. The spell check does not recognize / recognise the English UK spelling.

Did you try to follow my directions? Did you reboot after making the
designated changes?

Or are you just hijacking this thread?

I am the company Technical Systems Administrator. The regional language is
set within the Active Directory Templates to English UK. I have also tested
this on sevral computers by manually setting it within the Regional Languages
and of course, the computers have been rebooted. I have been working on this
for weeks with no successful results.

I am a bit put off by the rude suggestion that I might be hijacking this
thread. This is a genuine request for assistance on this subject.

Then start your own post without appending your issues to a completely
different issue started by the original poster.

Starting your own thread ensures that the responses are to only YOUR issue
and not intermingled, with mixed understanding, with responses to the
original request for assistance.
