customization - Is there a tool for editing the spelling dictionary?


Is there a tool for editing the spelling dictionary? Now that Mathematica 12 does spellchecking on the fly, I've been using it. And of course, as I was wondering how I might delete a word accidentally added to the dictionary, I accidentally added a misspelled word to the dictionary. I'm sure I can hunt it down and edit it by hand, but it seems safer to use a proper tool if one exists. Is there one?



Answer



For removing a misspelled word from the correct word list, go to Edit->Preferences, select the Advanced tab, select Open Option Inspector, lookup/search for SpellingDictionaries, click on the edit button for the CorrectWords entry, highlight the incorrect entry and select remove.
