How do you edit the Spell check dictionary?

[add233]

In the windows mail, how do you view and edit the words that you have added
into your computers dictionary? A wrong spelling was added into my computers
dictionary by accident and now it doesn't find that misspelling and it is a
frequently used and important word to have.

The user dictionary can be accessed at C:\Users\user
name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\UserDictionary.lex
Open with Wordpad and edit out the word and the space it leaves>save

What if you don't have a UserDictionary.lex? I have an HP Pavilion with
Vista Premium preinstalled but when I searched for the dictionary, none was
available, and I can't spell check. Any way to correct this?

Thanks,
Bob

Go to Control Panel>Select 'Classic View' (top left), Folder Options>enable
'show hidden files and folders'.
