Solved Mis-spelled word that I've removed

A while back I mis-spelled the word "and" and somehow managed to get it into the Live Mail dictionary. Anyhow I researched the problem and was told that if I went here:

[FONT=&quot]%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Mail\UserDictionary.lex
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]then I would be able to locate the word and remove it. When I checked out the extensive list the wretched word wasn't there. So, for ages I've just put up with the problem. I've now researched again and thought I'd found a solution here:
[/FONT]
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Proof

Sure enough here was my mis-spelled "and" at the top of the list so I deleted it. However if I now mis-spell "and" (in the same way) in an email the spell check still doesn't pick it up as being incorrect.

Is there anything else I can try please? I'm forever getting the "n" and the "d" around the wrong way so I manually have to go looking for the word each time I write an email. It's driving me nuts. :confused:

I've just checked back now and found it is now picking up on my mis-spelled word. It just seems to have taken a bit of time. Weird????

What e-mail client do you use ?
Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, MS Outlook, YahooMail etc ......

If you are using Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail, make sure you have enabled the option " Check my spelling as I type ", or the option " Always check spelling before sending " .

Problem is solved. See my second post. It just seemed to take a while before I was able to type the word incorrectly and then have the spell check pick up on it. For a few minutes it wasn't picking up on it being a mistake and then all of a sudden it was finding the error. It's now working well.
