I see that if I highlight the word I want to remove, I get a different dialogue. But accept or reject change isn't what I want. I would like "keep added word in dictionary" or "remove added word in dictionary" or something to that effect? I want to remove a word I placed into the dictionary a couple of hours ago. I went to /usr/share/hunspell/ to the dictionaries there, but that appears to be the list of words used, not the added words. I looked for the word I misspelled and added by accident, but it wasn't there. I don't know where my "added to dictionary" words go? That would be a help to know. I could ten go in and edit the file. So when I read about the way to remove a word from the dictionary, I thought I would give it a larrup. So far no luck. Thanks for your reply. I won't send a simple file with one word.
