Word 2007 English (UK) spelling and grammar

Hi,
I have also posted this query in the general section but, as I am desparate,
thought this too would be a good location...
Hi,
I recently upgraded to Office 2007 (from Office XP plus Excel 2007 beta 2),
having first removed my previous Office installations and then installed the
new Office version (Professional Plus). However, I cannot perform spelling or
grammar check with my default language (English UK) - if I do, Word tells me
that it cannot find the proofing tools for English (UK)... If I try to load
the thesaurus, I get an even stronger error (Microsoft Office Word cannot
open the thesaurus... Windows Installer error 1605...). Thing however seem to
be OK if I select English (US) as my language (but that does not help me
much!). I have tried repairing the installation and have tried manually
copying the MSGR3EN.dll to a (manually created) 2057 subdirectory of ....
Microsoft Shared\Proof but to no avail. Can anyone help fix this error or
suggest a possible work around? There are no updates of Office 2007 and no
options that I can find that would enable the English (UK) language settings
to work properly...
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and best wishes, Boris.
