someone needs to write this program

I need a filter that I could feed a large bit of text (~4000 words) that will convert from standard American English to standard British English spellings. Believe it or not, this has nothing to do with me bagging on the Brits in the last post. I'm just trying to publish something in an UK-based journal and I guess they don't pay their copy editors to add in superfluous vowels.

Also, it needs to cover medical and scientific terms. (Hyperglycaemia? WTF???)

Can't you just change the language settings in Word? When I first moved to the US I had to change my language settings to US English to eliminate the Canadian English insertion of the u (among other things).
