Deleting a word from DocQscribe dictionary - kris


Posted: Nov 20, 2009

HELP!  Can anyone tell me how to delete words from the spellcheck dictionary?  I accidently added a misspelled word to the dictionary that i don't want in there and can't figure out how to get it out!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not 100 percent positive, but I did the same thing as you once and got around it by adding the misspelled word to my expander list and having the expander correct it automatically to the correct spelling. Worked for me. Hope this helps.

Actually this might work better - violetsky

Actually try this instead... The next time you're in spellcheck, click on the 'Dictionaries' tab at the bottom of the dialog box that pops up, then find and select the word that's misspelled in your list of words, then click delete.

When doing VR, which of course is 98% of the time, I keep my hands at the bottom of the keyboard, left hand near Cntl, right hand hovering over the arrow keys.  Since there is a lot of deleting to do, you have to reach up to the top right corner of the laptop to press delete.  Of course I always have to look to make sure I don't accidentally hit insert.  It's so annoying.  Is there an easier way that I'm not thinking of?  Any suggestions would be SOOOO app ...
