Suzanne,
thank you. The article you linked me to had the wrong path in it. I did
find the .lex file, but it was an Outlook file type. Still, I followed the
instructions and it didn't work. However, I did find instructions under Word
help topics and followed them successfully. The file path the article
provided was incorrect (even though the .lex files were there). Here is the
correct file path: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application
Data\Microsoft\Proof. The dictionary files are actually in two places.
Entering "Specify a preferred spelling for a word" as a Word help topic will
provide the complete instructions.
Thanks so much. You got me pointed in the right direction.

in Word 2007 either spell checking or grammar checking (not sure which) will
do this automatically.

I always type "loose" when I mean "lose." Can I force spell-check to
always
flag those two words?
Thank you.
