ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and system for correcting the spelling of words. In a preferred embodiment, a list of misspelled words and associated correctly spelled words is maintained. When a misspelled word is encountered during the spell checking of a word processing document, the system searches the list for the misspelled word. If the misspelled word is in the list, the system replaces the word in the document with the associated correctly spelled word. The system also provides a method and system for adding misspelled words and associated correctly spelled words to the list.
