Spellcheck allows misspelling. How to fix?

[Guest]

Using spellcheck in Outlook 2003 it did not correct the spelling of
"finacial" for the word "financial."

How can I fix this?

At some point, you must have accidentally told it to add "finacial" to
"custom dictionary" on accident during the spell check.

Here's how to fix it:
Tools> Options> Spelling (it's a tab)> Edit Custom Dictionary (it's a button
that just says "edit"). That will open up a text file. Find the misspelled
word and delete it. Save the changes.

That should do it.

Hi Lauren,

Thanks for the quick response.

I checked the Custom Dictionary and the misspelled word was not there.

What now?

hmmmm. That's a strange one. I'm assuming you use the word "financial" often,
so you can make it an AutoText entry. Try this: Tools> AutoCorrect Options>
AutoText (tab). Now, type in financial (make sure you spell it correctly!)
and click add. Now, back in an email message, as you start to type out
financial, a little text thing will show above your typing that says
"financial (press ENTER to insert)." It will come up when you have "fina"
typed out. If nothing else (like if you type too fast), it will give you
pause and remind you about the spelling.

If the misspelled word isn't in the custom dictionary, it must think it's
actually a word for some crazy reason.

Sorry I can't do more for you.
