Windows 10: "Undo that" making a mess of things--getting rid of older typing--not the thing I just did

I am on a new Dell laptop, Windows 10, and trying to use the Speech Recognition tool--which I've used fine on other computers. But every time I try to "undo that," to delete the last crop of words it typed for me, rather than undoing the last words it typed, it undoes what I did before that--the 2nd to the last thing. If I "undo that" again, it undoes the 3rd to the last thing I did. If I say "redo that," it puts back what it took out, but it never deals with what I really wanted it to undo. Any ideas?

The Nokia E51: The things that work, and the things that don't (yet)

"Getting rid of T9 words that I added but that these days become the first suggested word.. Found a way to revert back to the common word 'is' after adding 'HR' (as in human resources) to the dictionary which in hindsight is a boneheaded thing to do..
(T9 didn't used to work that way on my last Symbian phone)"

May I ask how you accessed the Dictionary?
