You need to find your custom dictionary. It should be located at the
following: Root\OS\Profiles\User_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof The file is generally named custom.dic. Open the file is notepad or similar text application. Find the word you don't want. Delete it. Save the file. NOTE: Make sure to save the file as .dic not .txt That should correct your problem. "robmirabile" wrote: I added a mispelled word to my dictionary, how can I remove it? |

Excel shares spelling dictionaries with Word and other Office programs. If
you have Word, you can use Tools - Options - Spelling and Grammar - Custom dictionaries. Depending on your version of Office, there are ways to go straight to a custom dictionary and change it. It also gives the path, which is useful for opening a dictionary with a word processor or text editor program. -- Earl Kiosterud mvpearl omitthisword at verizon period net ------------------------------------------- "robmirabile" wrote in message ...

I have office 2003. If you also have Microsoft Word, you can do the
following... Tool | Options | Spelling & Grammar Tab | Custom Dictionaries... Select "Custom.Dic" and click "Modify..." Select your word from the list, and click "Delete." HTH :) -- Dana DeLouis Win XP & Office 2003 "robmirabile" wrote in message ... I added a mispelled word to my dictionary, how can I remove it? |

Interesting. I have 2003 (11.6113.5703) and it doesn't have a Spelling
& Grammar tab (just a Spelling tab). And, that tab doesn't have a Custom Dictionaries... button. ;-) -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article , says...

Hi Tushar. That's strange. Under Tool | Options, I have 11 tabs.
The three tabs I have together on a row are "Security", "Spelling & Grammar", and "Track Changes" I searched Office Add/Remove components, but it appears to me that Spelling & Grammar are grouped together. Hmm?? I'm sure it's a simple fix, but I can't think of it at the moment. I couldn't find anything at Microsoft's kb site. I know this isn't the issue, but I have Word 2003 (11.6359.6360) SP1 (& Windows XP) -- Dana DeLouis Win XP & Office 2003 "Tushar Mehta" wrote in message ... Interesting.

Duh! Silly me. I missed the fact that you were referring to Word. I
checked XL, which has only the Spelling tab. -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article , says...
