This seems to apply most in Affinity Publisher.

If I have accidentally asked a dictionary to learn a word and then realised that, in fact, I had misspelt that word, is there some way I can get the dictionary to unlearn that word.

In other words, is there some way I can get into a dictionary and edit it?

Main machine is 2024 24" iMac running Sequoia 15.2 with 8GB of RAM. Also have 2022 12" Macbook Air also running Sequoia 15.2, also with 8GB of RAM. On the side I have a 2019 27" iMac running Mojave 10.14.6 because that is the last OS that lets me run Adobe software without getting dragged into the subscription spiderweb.

All you should need to do is right-click on the word, and choose Unlearn.

Thanks for your prompt reply, walt.

But right-click on the word *where*? Often it is after I have done a spell-check, saved the file and, after making some other changes later, realise that the word is spelled incorrectly (comparing it with source material) but by then the spell-checker has learned it and no longer flags it as a spelling error.

Where do I right-click on the word? I would imagine, logically, it would be in the spell-checker dictionary. Can that be done?

Yeah, I think that makes sense. Thanks Pšenda.
