removing a specific word from spellchecker.

[jaypaulth]

Where do I go to delete a word that is being used in the dictionary. I have accidentally added a misspelled word and now I want to delete the phrase I accidentally added.

Unfortunately there is no automated way to remove a word from the custom dictionary.

Nevertheless you can do the following:

• find under the path c:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\UrsaSoft\UrsaSpelling\Dictionaries\en_US\* your dictionary with the name en_US_user*
  
• open the file en_US_user. dic* with your text editor and find the word you want to remove
• delete the word and save the file
• restart spell checker and Skype
  
  *instead en_US any other dic

After these changes your word will be checked as misspelled.

If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask.
