Windows Mail Spell Checker Dictionary- How is it Accessed?

I have accidently allowed a permanent spell change in the email spell checker dictionary.
Does any one know how to acces the spell checker dictionary to change it?

or how would I allow the Word dictionary to be the default spell checker dictionary?

Thanks!

Re: Windows Mail Spell Checker Dictionary- How is it Accessed?

The user dictionary is located at
C:\Users\(youraccount)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail
it's named UserDictionary.lex
and is a text file that can be edited.

\AppData is normally hidden

In the newer Windows Live Mail, the user dictionary is easily edited from
within the program.
