Default Where is the custom dictionary?

Awesome both of you. My grateful thanks. Oh, and I retire soon, all the kids
have flown the nest, and this will be the last computer I will ever buy, so
it's gotta be a goodie JoAnn!

Shortly moving to a nice new shiny up to the minute PC. (YAY!) As a

church
minister I have used Word on the old machine for a long time, and the

user
dictionary has lots of Biblical words and names in it. Rather than have

to
spend months putting them in again when using them can I just transfer a
file to the new PC that contains all those words? I am using MS Office

XP
(2002) on Windows XP Pro SP2. I have looked in the File Locations panel

of
the Options menu but can't find any reference to it. Thanks.
