Hi,

I don't use Microsoft Word much, but naturally I support users who do. I
have the computers set up with the default language as "English (AUS)"
because I presumed that was the right thing to do. However, I recently
used Word and found that it misspells "organisation" as "organization".
I was able to overcome this problem by setting the language to "English
(UK)". I'm flabbergasted that it could be wrong like this. It seems to
be a problem in both Word v.X and Word 2004. I guess my users are just
ignoring these errors. However, it makes me wonder what everyone else
does. Do you leave it as "AUS" and just ignore the errors, or do you set
it to "UK"? I'm not sure of the differences between Word's AUS and UK
spellings, except that they seem to be basically back-to-front in this
case.

Try adding the 'mispelt' word to a custom dictionary.

While swearWord thinks there is an error in your document press F7 to bring up Spelln n Grimace. Click Options>Dictionaries>New and save it in a folder where it will get backed up along with the user's other data. You could also pop a pref file into new installs with the change already made.

Cheers
