I'm running Windows XP Professional and use Office XP Professional.I've suddenly become aware that my main dictionary in MS Word is still the English(US) version despite my switching to the English(UK) version.

When I go to the Spelliing Checker settings, access the custom dictionaries dialog, Im can only find one custom.dic selection option which I assume is the US version.When I press "Add" a window opens on an empty folder as if asking me to nominate a custom dictionary file, but of course there isn't one to select.

Is it possible to obtain an English(UK) custom dictionary file version to put in the appropriate?

If not is there a method where I can create my own without deleting the US version named presumably custom.dic despite the fact that a search of my PC cannot find such a filename.

Any help greatly appreciated. TIA.
