I have finally solved the problem of the British Dictionary in AppleWorks Extras/UK English Dictionaries; I then made it available by MOVING it into the AppleWorks Essentials/Dictionaries; it could now be selected using the Edit/Writing Tools/Select Dictionaries and lo and behold there was now the UK English Dictionary!!! I know that this has been rather lengthy but I thought someone else might also be interested in using it!!! Incidentally, there is not a Grammar checker in AW is there, as there is in Word? Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused anyone!!!
