How do I REMOVE a word from my custom dictionary in PowerPoint?

[Guest]

I added a word that is still mispelled into my custom dictionary in
PowerPoint, now I cant figure out how to remove it.

Meganh57,
I usually correct that using Word, as far as I know this is a common item
for all office programs. In Word go to Tools - options - spelling tab -
click on custom dictionary button - select your custom dictionary and hit
change. Now remove the words you have added. That should do it.

Try this. Credit to Kim Komando web site (I think).

Problem
You run a spell check, you're in a hurry and you accidentally mark a
misspelled word as being correct. Now when you type the word, MS
Office thinks it's correct and no longer flags it as a misspelling.

Solution
I deliberately added a misspooled word (that one, in fact) to the
dictionary, then went sneaking around behind Office's back.

In C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserName\Application
Data\Microsoft\Proof I found a file called CUSTOM.DIC

This is a plain ASCII text file (ie, editable in Notepad, don't mess
with it in Word or other word processors). I opened it and there at
the top of the list was our new friend "Misspooled".

I deleted the whole line containing the errant word, saved the file,
restarted Office and once again Office regarded Misspooled as
misspelled
