Default How do I move my custom Word dictionary to another computer?

All versions of Word (including Word 2007) use Custom.dic.

Jay,

I need this infomation too. But I'm using Word 2007 and your suggested
link
pertains to an older version of Word. How does one get to
Tools/Options/Spelling and Grammar in the new GUI in Word 2007?

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm, in the section
"Custom spelling dictionaries". Copy the document from the old computer
and
drop it in the same folder on the new computer.
