I keep having things added to my autocompletion (?) list

For example, in one document, I type:
sur
and it autocompletes as
surveysSurvey
I understand that at some point I must have (erroneously)
typed that into the document. But how do I get rid of it?
I've looked under Tools->Options->Language Settings->Writing Aids,
and under Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org Writer Formatting Aids,
but haven't found the answer there.
It seems to come and go, so it is not reproducible.
What usually happens is that I open a completely new document,
or perhaps open an old document and save it as a new one and continue
editing,
and am very surprised when Writer starts autocompleting things
completely out of context.
One possibile scenario is that I have open one document and then,
while the first document is still open, open a second document;
the second document seems to "inherit" the autocompletion (?) list
from the first.
The Help text for AutoComplete seemed to refer
only to autocompletion in dialogs.
That's a relatively easy one, Kenn.
Go to Tools-Autocorrect-Word Completion and you will see the list of
words you have collected. It is even sensible enough to realise that if
you click on one word, you are likely to still want to delete it if you
select another as well. In other words no need for the old Ctrl-Click to
select multiple words for deletion.
You will also see a check box on that page which allows you to "When
closing a document save the list for later use in other documents." This
may explain the behaviour you see.
Unfortunately, if you open the help system, it will also populate the
list with words from the help file, which can be a nuisance.
