To change your dictionary in Microsoft Windows NT Mail from the
default lexicon, American English, to British English, use the
following procedure:
 
Note: You may need Administrator privileges to perform this procedure.
 
1. Ensure that the British English lexicon file, MSP32_BR.LEX, is in
   the \SYSTEM32 subdirectory.
 
2. In Registry Editor, open one of the following hives:
 
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER
      HKEY_USERS
 
   If you want to modify the dictionaries of all subsequent users on
   this machine, choose the HKEY_USERS key and go to the DEFAULT key.
   If you want to modify only the dictionary of the current user, go
   to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
 
3. Select the following subkey:
 
      \Software\Microsoft\Mail
 
4. If there is no MS Proofing Tools subkey under Mail, choose Add Key
   from the Edit menu and add the following subkey:
 
      MS Proofing Tools
 
5. Select the MS Proofing Tools subkey. Using the Add Value option of
   the Edit menu, add the following two values:
 
      Spelling : REG_SZ : Spelling 2057,0
      Spelling 2057,0 : REG_SZ : mspell32.dll,msp32_br.lex
 
   Note: Copy the spacing here exactly for value name and value.
 
6. Save changes and exit Registry Editor.
 
The next time you start Mail, your dictionary should be set up for
British English.
