How to edit your Custom Spelling Dictionary

Or how to remove or amend a misspelled word from your custom dictionary after inadvertently pressing the Add button while running the spell checker

Article contributed by Suzanne Barnhill

Go to Tools | Options | Spelling and Grammar and click the Dictionaries... button. Chances are you have only one user dictionary, CUSTOM.DIC, which will already be selected. Click on the Edit button, which will open the dictionary file as a text file. Find the word you inadvertently added and delete or correct it, then press Ctrl+S to save the file, and close it.
