Spell Check Dictionary - Change?

[CWLee]

I know how to ADD words to the dictionary that spell check
uses in Windows Mail. I've added some words incorrectly,
and I can't figure out how to REMOVE them. Ideas?

Thanks.

Thanks.

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

Incidentally, Windows live Mail has a built-in editor for the
custom dictionary, one of many little extras you get when
you upgrade.

Windows Mail does not have a Canadian English dictionary, and never will.
If you upgrade to Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
there is an easy hack to get the Canadian English spell check.

Please don't post in all CAPS.

No problem. I'm not familiar with that particular malfunction, but I
know many new posters here are not aware of Usenet customs.
Incidentally, another Usenet custom is quoting the message
that one is replying to. I don't know if the web forum you are using
to access this newsgroup has that quoting option.
