Remove Word From Microsoft Office Custom Dictionary

Microsoft OfficeI end up adding lots of words to the dictionary in Microsoft Office; often lots of vendor or product names. I recently added a misspelling of SmartConnect which I needed t remove and I had to do some research to find out how.

It’s not actually too complex to do, but there are a few screens you have to go through.

You can do this in any of the Office products; this example is done through Microsoft Word.

Open the Word Options from the File tab and select Proofing; click the Custom Dictionaries button in the middle of the window:

Word Options - Proofing tab

Under All Languages, select RoamingCustom.dic and click the Edit Word List button:

Custom Dictionaries window

Find the word you want to remove and click Delete and then click OK:

RoamingCusotom.dic window

Click OK to close the options window.
