Question - UK / US Dictionary in Office XP

D

Duncan

Although the text is highlighted as UK English and the
spell checker is using UK English the spell checker does
not pick up on the z vs s issue. An example
being "organise" and "organize". No custom dictionaries
are interfering, does this mean that the Office dictionary
for UK English has both entries listed as being
correct ?. If this is the case what else is being falsely
shown as correct ?.

Any ideas / suggestions / confirmation on this would be
greatly appreciated.

Using your example - the US checker flags 'ise' as wrong in this example. In
UK English - according to the Oxford Dictionary - either spelling is
acceptable. If you wish to vary this you will need to set up an exclusion
dictionary.
