Using Windows XP-Pro and Office 2003.

I know how to remove a custom dictionary, but is there a way to delete an
individual entry that has been added to the main dictionary?

Thanks so much. The second article you listed was the helpful one. A
client of mine had accidentally added an incorrectly spelled word to the
main dictionary. This article allowed us to remove that entry. I'm
grateful for your assistance.

I'm glad you got the result you wanted, but just for your future
information, it is not possible to add words to the "main" dictionary
(Word's built-in lexicon); it is only possible to add words to your personal
"custom" dictionary (Custom.dic by default).

I stand corrected for sure. But the word we wanted to delete showed up when
we followed the steps given.

That's because it described how to edit the custom dictionary.
