Default How to correct a mis-spelled word not in Dictionary?

Could you give some other examples.
I tried to see what happens at my end with "IC" and I'm afraid the same
problem occurred. In fact, when I added "IC" to the dictionary, I looked in
the custom dictionary, and discovered it actually saved it as "ic" (without
the quotes in all cases). However, when I changed the default proofing
language to French (Canadian) and tried again, it worked OK, but I don't
know why. In fact, I now cannot remove "IC" from wherever it has been saved
to which would seem to be the French (Canadian) dictionary, which I don't
know how to edit.

I'm sorry but I can't help you.
Maybe someone else needs to chime in here.

Thank you for replying.Truly appreciate it.Anyway, you understood what I'm
asking.

However,I have already tried your suggestion even before I started
browsing
through this website but that didn't work.Posting my query here was my
last
resort.For eg. I edited ic to IC in the field named "Not in Dictionary"
and
clicked Change or Add to Dictionary but that just didn't work.I even have
a
book by Stephen Copestake for OFFICE 2000 and it also doesn't state
anything
that might solve this problem.I find this very minor yet it is very
important
especially when we are talking about thousands of rows for correction.

If I'm reading you correctly,

Just correct the spelling where it's shown to be incorrect in the top
section (probably headed "Not in Dictionary"),
click Add to dictionary
or click Change
or click Change all.

Please assist me in correcting a mis-spelled word which is not found in
Dictionary, directly from the spell-check pop-up box. I appreciate
anyone
of
you who can offer me your help. Thank you.
