How do I copy custom dictionary on word 2000 onto a flash drive and then copy it to custom dictionary word 2003 on my new computer?
Solution 1:
This explains all about custom dictionaries at: http://www.kerryr.net/webwriting/tools_custom-dicts.htm
The file you need is custom.dic
and can be found at:
Win XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof\custom.dic
Win Vista and Win 7:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Proof\custom.dic
Win 7 with additional Office Proofing Tools Kit:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof\custom.dic
You will need to enable Show hidden files and folders to find it. Simply replace the custom.dic
on your new PC/Office with that one and it should work.
