I'll check this out as soon as I have some spare time. It may be the case
you suggest because I go to great lengths to ensure that the only language
installed on my computer is English (UK), but this seems to be a never
ending battle as MS software tries to install everything as English (US) by
default!

: How bizarre! Are you sure? Or do you just not have Spanish installed? See
:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=821416, which certainly seems to imply
: that English and Spanish are included with all English versions.* And my
: understanding is that the "English" proofing tools (except Australian) are
: the same for U.S., U.K., etc., differing only depending on your Windows
: locale setting.

: spelling and grammar tools that are included in the English version of
: Office 2003."
