Delete words from standard dictionary

[Guest]

I would like the spell checker to not recognise certain words. I mistype for
as fro and spell checker can't pick this up. Is it possible to delete words
from the standard dictionary, or is there another way do this ?

The spell check dictionary is not editable. You can only add words to
custom dictionaries. What you can do is to add "fro" as an AutoCorrect
entry, with "for" as the replacement. To do this: On the Tools menu,
click AutoCorrect. Click the AutoCorrect tab. Make sure "Replace text
as you type" is checked, type "fro" and its replacement, and click the
Add button.
