To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

You can edit existing words or if you type in new words in the fields you can add them as well.

Or if spell checking marks existing words to be wrong which are not, you can right-click the word and mark as Learn.

But, when I have accidentally marked a wrong word as correct and add it to the dictionary, where can I delete this definition?

Good question. Learned words seem to be saved in some Publisher file that I haven't figured out yet.

I can't find any way to "unlearn" a word. (I might guess, though, that a full reset of the program by holding Ctrl while starting it might clear all the learned words.)

The dictionary files that come with APub look like standard Hunspell files:

C:\Program Files\Affinity\Publisher Public Beta\Resources\Dictionaries\

The User dictionary is here but it's not user editable:

C:\Users\Carl\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Publisher\1.0 (Beta)\user\dictionary.propcol

Highlighting the word and right-clicking should give you the option to "Unlearn" it
