To delete a misspelled word while performing a spell check, do the following when the word is encountered:

  Select Correct from the Spell menu.   Replace the misspelled word with any symbol(s) not used elsewhere in the document [for example, two pound signs (##)].   After the spell check is completed, use Word’s Replace command to replace the unwanted symbols.   In the Replace “text:” field, type the symbols used earlier, followed by a space.   Leave the “with text:” field blank.  

All unwanted words are now deleted.
