    Can you remove a word from Word's dictionary?

    There are words I commonly misspell and I usually right click and choose from Word's suggestions. Only this time I accidentally hit 'Add to Dictionary' so the next time I misspell that word, it won't be flagged. So I was wondering if you can access the dictionary and remove a word?

    Thanks - rev
