SYMPTOMS

Outlook does not recognize the English (UK) dictionary when you use the spell checking feature of Outlook.

CAUSE

The registry key for this option, HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/microsoft/office/8.0/outlook/options/spelling/, is incorrectly set for English (US): Speller: "1033\Normal".

RESOLUTION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

Change the "1033\Normal" entry for the Speller option to "2057\Normal".
