Default Editing spell-check lexicon

I just noticed that this only appears to work on the Word spellchecker as an
email I just sent had the 'fro' mistake in it.

I thought all Office products shared the spellchecker?

How can I achieve that same thing for spellchecking in Outlook?

Thanks Suzanne.

That's just what I wanted. I did this on a previous installation and it
didn't work (probably did something wrong), but this time it's spot on!

How do I edit the spell-check lexicon to exclude certain words from the
spell-check?

The reason for this is that certain errors are not flagged as errors

because
the mis-spelled word is a valid word that's included in the lexicon and
isn't flagged as an error. An example of this is the word 'for' which I
often mis-type as 'fro'. Because 'fro' is a valid word it isn't flagged

as
a mistake. However it's a word I'd rarely use, if ever and it would be

much
better if I could remove this from the lexicon so my mistyping of the
word
'for' would show as a mistake.
