Default how does word give spelling suggestions?

HI all;

this may seem to be a dumb question but i am in a situation where it
is important to get this confirmed.

does Word use any built in database to look for possible matches?

is the database stored in a file which is copied to the user's disk
during installation?

what may happen if i find this file and delete it?

thanks

Yes, it call a dictionary

Yes

At the very least, spell-checking and, probably, grammar-checking wouldn't be possible.
