[Solved] Remove misspelled word added to dictionary

Post by Meduini »

I accidentally added a misspelling when I meant to do it as an auto-correct and even with it manually added to auto-correct, it won't change the misspelled word when I accidentally misspell it.

Not what I need; I've already added it to that. What I mean is this: I accidentally added Abigil to the dictionary within OpenOffice Writer. Even when adding Replace Abigil with Abigail, it won't do that.

Try removing the incorrect word from the dictionary. Go to Tools | Options Language Settings | Writing Aids. Select the relevant dictionary and click Edit.
