Title:   Deleting Words from the Speller Dictionary 
Product: WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS 
Number:  1127-10/93 

Problem
While spell checking your document, you have added a misspelled
word to your dictionary.  Now you want to remove that word.


Concept
If you select option 3 to add a word to your dictionary while you
are spell checking, that word is saved in a file called
WPXXX}us.sup, otherwise known as the supplemental dictionary. 
This dictionary is a WordPerfect document, which means you can
retrieve, edit, and save it.


Solution
Locate the supplemental dictionary file and delete the misspelled
word.

1     Press Setup (Shift+F1), then choose Location of Files (6).

Your supplemental dictionary is listed under
Thesaurus/Spell/Hyphenation (3).  Make a note of the directory it
is located in.  If no directory is listed, then your dictionary
is stored in your default WordPerfect directory.

2     Press Exit (F7) to exit the Setup menu.

3     Press List (F5).  

The default WordPerfect 5.1 directory is usually C:\WP51, unless
you specified another location during the installation.

4     If the C:\WP51 directory does not appear at the bottom of
      the screen, switch to that directory.

5     Press Enter.  Scroll down the list of files until you see
      the WPXXX}us.sup file.

6     Choose Retrieve (1).  Make the necessary corrections to the
      misspelled word, or delete it from the dictionary.

7     Save the file under the same name when you are finished.
