What kind of file are you looking for? Is it a dictionary for M$ Word?
If so, we would need to know the version, since with each update M$
seems to have used incompatible formats. 

Incidentally, if you are using M$ Word in Canada (isn't that what .ca
stands for?), shouldn't you have got an English dictionary as part of
the package. 

I use a German-language version of Word, but nevertheless I have English
dictionaries in a bewildering variety of different forms of English,
including US, British, Australian, Canadian, South African, Caribbean
and Irish, although being Irish I wasn't aware that we used a different
spelling system from the British.
