= SUMMARY =

The Microsoft Word version 5.0 spelling checker indicates that the word “discused” is spelled correctly and is in the main dictionary. The correct spelling is “discussed.” Because the standard dictionary is a binary file, there is no practical method to remove the word from the dictionary.

The same problem occurs in the Word for Windows standard dictionary.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 5.0. This problem was corrected in Word version 5.5. KBCategory: kbother KBSubcategory:
