Canadian English spell checker won't work
I have my XP Word set on Canadian English, however, when I do spell check, it
always checks in US English and even says so in the spell check box. I cannot seem to make the spell checker work properly, and I am sick of having to tell it that colour, favourite, etc, are not spelt wrong. I have created a custom dictionary to work around this problem, but I would like to have a permanent fix. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! |

Why not just click the "add" button to add those words to your dictionary? I
added my first and last name to mine so they weren't constantly getting dinged as misspelled.

Just re-read your message and saw that you said you created a custom
dictionary so ignore my previous post. "Treesy" wrote: Why not just click the "add" button to add those words to your dictionary?
