How can I remove a word from the Office dictionary?

[greg]

Two related questions, if you please:

1. How can I remove a word from the standard Office dictionary? I just can't find out how to do it.

2. How do I report a misspelt word in the Office supplied UK-English dictionary?
Liase should be spelt liaise in English, and I just lost a bet on the subject with a lawyer.
Sadly, the MS UK-English dictionary contains liase and not liaise.

Can you help?
Greg.

That's generally a sign that you're running Word 97 or an early release of
Word 2000, as that problem has been fixed. There's an English speller update
