I am not sure which version of Word you are using, but I am using Word 2007.
What you do here is click the Microsoft Office Button (circle in top left corner with logo in it) and goto Word Options. From there goto Proofing and Custom Dictionaries. In there select the custom dictionary you would like to edit. Mine is defaulted to custom.dic. Now select Edit Word List. "Zeemboomba" wrote in message ...

Delete a word from dictionary
I should have been more specific on my situation. I am using Word 2007.
The solution you have proposed is true for most situations. I am facing a slightly different scenario. My default dictionary is English (US). I am preparing some documents in English (UK). There are some words that are spelt differently - e.g. realize (in US) and realise (in UK). Even when I have set the language to English (UK) the spell check ignores the US spelling and accepts it as valid. If I introduce a deliberate error and write "realze" without the i, spellcheck offers both realize and realise to choose from. I assumed that the English (UK) dictionary has both words and thought I may have added it in there at some time. What should I do in this situation?

In English UK both ...ize and ...ise are acceptable, though clearly you
should stick to a standard throughout. Other American spellings eg color and center have different spelling in UK English and the UK disctionary should flag them as incorrect. You can use an exclude dictionary to exclude those variable spellings you want marked as wrong. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/wo...892021033.aspx -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Zeemboomba wrote: I should have been more specific on my situation.

In that case you're not wanting to remove a word you "accidentally" added
but to exclude a word that is part of the default lexicon; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/Ex...ordFromDic.htm -- Suzanne S.
