Could you please tell me how to access the "Microsoft Works Word Dictionary?" I am trying to delete words that I added to that dictionary. Could you please give me step by step instructions of how to do that?
Thanks.

Hello Louie18 & Welcome to the forum.

Why do you want to delete words you have added?
You might have to uninstall & then re-install the software to action this??
