You mean like "indentify"? I don't think you can. If you have a problem
with US vs. UK spelling, you can change that in Tools, Language, Set
Language.

There must be tools for editing the spelling dictionaries, but I don't know
how to get them.

Cheers,

Hello,

I blogged about this topic a few days ago: you may want to consult this post
about how to remove a word from Office's main speller dictionary:
http://blogs.msdn.com/naturallangua...-a-word-from-office-s-speller-dictionary.aspx

Typing "exclusion dictionary" or "exclude dictionary" in the Help file will
also give you information about where to find these "exclusion" dictionaries.

I hope it will help,

Thierry

Hi again,

I also wanted to ask you whether you could share with us which word you
wanted to remove from the dictionary. This would help us identify potential
pain points, which could benefit other users as well.

Thanks for your feedback,
