I'm finding middle-clicking for checking spelling and choosing the
correct spelling, increasingly problematic. How can I change the
'middle-click' to a 'right-click', system-wide, please?
Thanks
Sharon.

Linux/X?
Something like (for a three button mouse):
echo 'pointer = 1 3 2' |xmodmap - 1>/dev/null 2>&1

And if you only want to change it for this specific case, check out
"mouse-1-click-follows-link", i.e. try
M-x customize-variable RET mouse-1-click-follows-link
You want either "Single click time limit" (meaning that a short single
click will follow the link, a longer one will behave as before, just
moving point to the clicked position) *or* just "Single click". But
the explanation in the customize buffer is better anyway :-)

xmodmap is increasingly obsolete and broken
I think xinput is what you need to use.
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input
Unfortunately those examples seem broken and need small fixes

[Sorry clicked 'Send' too soon]
In the section
Example: Disabling middle-mouse button paste on a scrollwheel mouse
the xinput call needs an additional <id> parameter before the actual map

I'm sorry, I missed out one *vital* element of my question, I meant to say
change "button 3" with "button 2" in *emacs* only. This would mean that
I can "right-click" on a misspelled word and it shows me a popup list,
and that is where I'm needing the mouse changes, just in spell-checking.
Sorry
Sharon.

So then Tomas' solution works right?
ie use C-h k to find the current bindings and then rebind ?

FWIW, I think the better long-term fix is to report this as a bug.
The flyspell menu should be considered a "context menu" and these should
be bound to down-mouse-3.

Maybe, but it still works for the example given:
> echo 'pointer = 1 3 2' |xmodmap - 1>/dev/null 2>&1
(though the OP clarified he wants to do this only in emacs)
The xinput equivalent is:
xinput --set-button-map <device> 1 3 2
though one needs to find what <device> is.
