Default How to correct the built-in dictionary?

The built in dictionary used in Word incorrectly spells Autodesk as AutoDesk.
How do I correct this without adding a new entry into the dictionary?

Hmm... Yes. Tried that. No joy.

Actually, the folks at Microsoft need to fix their dictionary in general.
This particular error has been present ever since Word 95.

I suppose I'll just add the correct spelling to the dictionary (again).

Thanks for the suggestions!
