In Word 2002, is it possible to remove a misspelled word accidentally added
to the dictionary during spell checking?

Thank you. That was it.

I knew it could be done but could not find out how. Internet search was not
helpful.

For what it's worth, if you search Word's Help for "custom dictionary," the
first hit is the article "Create and use custom dictionaries," which
includes "Add, delete, or edit words in a custom dictionary."
