I just got my copy of FullWrite Professional, for sale in the USA and Canada
only.  Only one thing: I'm stuck with a US-style dictionary and thesaurus.
We use British convections on spelling frequently, so this is very 
inconvenient when only the US dictionary is available.  I cannot use the user
dictionary because the document style and spelling will be inconsistent.  Does
anyone know how to obtain the British versions of the dictionary and
thesaurus?  Microsoft were very thoughtful when they released both types of 
dictionary with WORD v3.0, could Ashton-Tate do the same?  I prefer using
FWP to MS WORD by far, but I cannot make as much use of it as I would like
without the alternative dictionary and thesaurus.
