Friends,
I am using MS word 2007 version. Whenever we type some word and if it is not available with dictionary, we can always say "Add to dictionary" Isn't it?

Similarly, is there any option of "remove from dictionary" if we have accidently added a wrong word? I want my dictionary to be "pure" US English.

How to maintain the purity of word dictionary?

    Thanks Sheldon, it works. 😀 In custom dictionary, only the words which we have added as per our convenience appear, isn't it? Rest are the words by ms word it self. Thanks for this information. 😀
