Hi Patti-
Not sure I understand your request, because incorrectly spelling words
doesn't 'corrupt' the dictionary. If it is corrupted there must be some other
problem.
Do you mean that misspelled words have been added to the spellcheck so they
are no longer recognized as being misspelled? If that is the case, those
words are _not_ actually added to the main dictionary, itself, but to a
Custom Dictonary.
Go to Tools>Options--Spelling & Grammar, click the Custom Dictionaries
button & you will see a list of any Custom Dictionaries that have been
created... probably just one. You have 3 basic options;
1- remove the check to leave it intact but unused,
2- select it, click Modify to delete all items or go through the list to
just any erroneous entries (Shift+click & Ctrl+click work for multiple
selections), or
3- select it and click Remove to remove it altogether. (The file will still
be stored, just not used until you go back and Add it again. Note: You can't
add any items unless you have at least one custom dictionary active.)
HTH |:>)
