In Word 2003 (under Windows XP), it's at C:\Documents and Settings\Profile
Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC. This should be the same
for Word 2000 but may be slightly different under Vista.

Hi ?B?cmlja2k=?=,

my husband accidentally changed the location of my custom dictionary. where
does word 2000 put it? i'm using windows vista.

Are you trying to find it? Or trying to figure out where to put it back to?

I'd probably try creating a new one, then searching the machine for *.dic
files...

FWIW, on Vista the default location is probably under

C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft

possibly the folder "Proof"
