Editing an MS Word Dictionary

Answer:
MS Word uses a standard dictionary to spell the language of choice. In addition, one can add words that do not exist for Spell Check to use. These newly added words get added into a file called CUSTOM.DIC. How to delete them, you ask?

Edit the custom dictionary.

• Click on tools
• Click on options
• Click on spelling & grammar
• Click on dictionaries
• Click on edit
• Read the message carefully.
• Click OK
• Edit the word list. Make sure you have one word per line.
• Save and close the file.
• Re-activate the spell check as you type option.

That was simple wasn't it?
