British (and potentially Australian) spelling now possible with Outlook Express.

Anyone using Outlook Express under Windows XP who upgrades to Office 2007, will find their Outlook Express spellchecker no longer works, unless they wish to spellcheck in French.

There has been a solution for those using American English, but those wanting to use British or Australian English didn't have a solution. Now they do.  I've now made available a program which extends the solution provided for American English which adds the British dictionary as an option. For Australians you need to have an older version of Office 97 (possibly 95) as you need a file from the CDs. Once you copy the file to the right folder you can then use the program I've written to enable the Australian dictionary.

You can find more information on the Outlook Express page.
