Outlook or Outlook Express.
Tools > Options, click the Spelling tab, click "Edit custom dictionary"

Should do it.

Actually, you didn't add it to FrontPage's dictionary, per se. Instead, you
added it to a custom/personal spelling "dictionary." that's common to all
Office Applications. It's plain text file which you can edit and remove
undesired entries.

The easiest way to do this is from Word (since FP doesn't have a tab - that
I could find - for this). Open Word and choose Tools, Options, Spelling and
Grammar. Click the Custom Dictionaries button. Click Modify. Find the
word, highlight it and choose Delete.

Nice Steve. I normally do it from Word since it's a shared custom
dictionary. Never thought to look in OE. Too bad FP didn't have this
option like the other Office Apps.

Outlook or Outlook Express.
Tools > Options, click the Spelling tab, click "Edit custom dictionary"

Should do it.

Thanks,
I've looked in every .dic file on my system and none have today's date as a modified date nor include this rouge word... Wasn't listed in either Outlook or Outlook Express which
both are listed as CUSTOM.DIC...

Thanks David.
I posted it that way in case the OP doesn't have any other office apps installed.

Close and reopen both OE and FrontPage and then look.
