Hi! All,

When I look for language pack / dictionary I am told that the versions available are not compatible with my version.

This help bulletin does have UK English spell check.

Thanking inputs in anticipation

Chosen solution

There are two options of British English dictionaries to use with the spell checker.

The Language Packs are for changing language of the UI. It is useful for when you want one install but be able to change between two or more UI languages instead of having multiple installs.

One has loaded without complaint so issue resolved. I noted that there were a number of incompatible comments, so pleased that I was not alone. Thank you for reading and responding.
