Edit spell check dictionary

I was not paying attention when using the spell check the other day & clicked
on "add" instead of "change" so now have words like "i" added in lower
case. Know how to edit in WLM but it does not seem to work the same way in
WM. Have tried searching for an answer but no luck.

Go to Control Panel>Select 'Classic View' (top left), Folder Options>enable
'show hidden files and folders'.

The user dictionary can be accessed at C:\Users\user
name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\UserDictionary.lex
Open with Wordpad and edit out the word and the space it leaves>save

Or use this utility:

Thanks for that, will try it after I log off. Went to the link & read the
info so have downloaded the utility too. My goodness what a round about way
to edit when the WLM edit is so simple.

If you did not want the methodology, why did you ask :))
