How do i remove a word from spell check in OS X 10.4?

Hi all, I accidentally added a misspelled word to the spell check dictionary and i was wondering how to remove it.


I noticed there were already a few similar questions, but i could not get their solutions to work, as they were obviously using a new version of OS X.


So does anyone know how to remove a word from from spell check in OS x 10.4? or else how to reset the spell check?


Cheers.

Mac OS X (10.4.11)

OK, if you are talking about the Apple spell checker, do the following:


Open an application like TextEdit. Right click in the application window and you will get a popup. Select Spelling and then Spelling... to get a Spelling Dialog Box.

Type in the mis-spelled word in the text box and then click the Forget button. That should undo the mischief.

Ok, that seems to have fixed the problem for textedit, microsoft word, and safari. But it has not fixed the problem in Mozilla Firefox. Any other ideas?


I am not a Firefox user, though I have some (probably stale at this point) version installed. I would prowl the Firefox help files, which I think are actually online, rather than on your computer. At least we are halfway there.
