Setting Language Options for UK Spelling

In Expression Web 4.0, if you need to change the options for spelling to cover UK spellings, you will need to make the change in two places:

Tools > Page Editor Options > General tab – Spelling:- Set Spelling language from the drop-down

Screenshot language setting under page editor options.

and

Tools > Spelling Options > Custom Dictionaries > Set this to English (UK) as well from the drop-down.

Screenshot Spelling options.

  • The custom dictionary option to use UK English, or in my case NZ English – the only option for english is US English. This problem is affecting many other on the EW Forum

    I’m glad to see that something can be done about this issue. I have one UK writer and several US writers who should all be using this setting option to include the UK spellings.

    I’m in Canada and need Canadian spelling. This is a good tip. Everything defaults for the USA.

  • I’m sorry in my version of EW4 there is no English UK option. (Presumably no dictionary) I know one is not supposed to speak ill of the great god Microsoft but I feel really let down.
