Is it possible to remove a word from the built in (US English) dictionary? For example: I correct a lot of scanned text where the word "of" is often rendered as "op" and the dictionary accepts it as being valid.

You can't remove words from the built-in dictionary, but you can specify that "op" be treated as a misspelled word:
1. Click Configure > Preferences .
2. Click Spelling .
3. Click Edit .
4. Under Words , type op .
5. Under Action , select Exclude (treat as misspelled) .
6. Click Add Word .
