Humor / Humour and Theater / Theatre

Word 2007 was installed on my work computer and seems to have somehow installed a British Spell Checker.
.
In the "Chrome" Browser, "theater" is spelled correctly and "theatre" is spelled incorrectly. However in Word it is "theatre" that is correct and "theater" that is incorrect.
.
Similarly with "humor" and "humour" .
.
And, funny enough, "spelt" is correct in British and incorrect in American English.
.
Now, as anyone that knows me knows, I can't spell or proof even when I have the right dictionaries, so imagine the difficulties now!
.
Just muddle through ya'll.
