Microsoft Word comes with a british spelling dictionary already installed.
If you need to check the British spelling

of a word, just do this:

 

1.	Type the word in the US spelling
2.	Highlight (select) it
3.	On the beige toolbar at the very bottom of the page, the phrase
"English(US)"  is in the one of the blocks. Point at it and double-click.
4.	Change the spelling dictionary to English (UK)
5.	If there is a UK variant, it will bring up the UK spelling
dictionary

 

 

I haven't looked to see if it will deal with "gaol", which is the UK version
of "jail".
