I mistakenly approved a misspelled word. How do you edit user dictionaries
in Entourage X?

To edit the custom dictionary just go in Word
to the "Word" menu, choose Preferences, and then the Spelling and
Grammar category. In that dialog, click the "Dictionaries" button,
and add or remove any words you wish to.

When you are done, you have to turn on automatic spell checking
again, which you do by re-checking "Check Spelling as you type" in
the Spelling and Grammar Preference dialog. That's all there is to it.

Alternatively, you can edit the file itself in a text editor. It works quite
well.

Thanks all.
Where is the text file stored and how is it labeled?

Well it depends.... Most people use the default names and locations, but you
have the option to save it anywhere you'd want... You should check in the
Word preferences. It should display the path there as far as I remember.
