word should have the ability to USE BRITISH SPELLINGS!!! COLOUR..

[Guest]

i live in england, where the english language was invented and is still used
acurately with correct spellings. i dont claim to be able to spell perfectly
atall thats why i need the spelling on ms word to be the british ones. word
actually tells me colour and flavour and aliminium are all wrong spellings
and keeps mithering me to change them. i am tired of this and want microsoft
to put a choice in the options to change to british spellings.

To clarify Jay's post, Cindy's article tells you how to change the default
language of Word/Windows. You need to select English (UK) instead of English
(US).
