Not like that in this country! Apologise! (Try setting your locale and language as Australia not US and Australian English not US English)

Just had a look, I can do Spanish, German or Italian etc but no Australian English, just English but I will add Aussie/English words to it as I go along.
I didn't even notice that lol Thanks John.

ieSpell has an option for UK spelling - that gets most of it right.
In IE, select Tools -> ieSpell options -> Language and Dictionaries -> English (UK)

Mostly will, but the -ise/-ize ending is one of the points of difference between UK and Australian English in many cases. In this particular case the Oxford Reference dictionary gives -ize (also -ise) where the Australian Concise Oxford gives -ise (also -ize). According to the latest edition of Fowler, the matter is finely balanced and unresolved, with several UK publishing houses changing recently from -ize to -ise. However, in my view, supported by ACOED (and my my spell checker, International Ispell) -ise is the only correct usage in Australia. All sources agree that -ize is the only correct usage in the US.

From the menu bar at the top of the page in Internet Explorer, select Tools.
That will give a drop down menu.
Select ieSpell Options
Then select the Language and Dictionaries tab
Now select English (UK)
Then press OK

You can do a screen dump by getting the tools menu up in ie and then pressing the "print screen" ( sometimes marked as prtscrn) button, up near the scroll lock.
This will take a "picture" of the screen and store it on the clipboard. So, to view it, start up paint and then go to the edit menu and select paste.
Now you can just save it and post it like a regular picture...
:D

The only training ive ever had on computers was back in the days of the 80086 days and I was putting them together and installing Lotus 123 on network machines.
I will get around to doing all this stuff, I'll get back to you when I have everything sorted out and try again.
I'll do a bit of study my self and see what I come up with.

If you have a row of menus at the top of the screen, choose Help>About IE.
Or, if the IE e logo has a gold halo at 45 degrees you're running IE7.
