How can I copy a custom dictionary to a new computer
I have just had a new computer built and would like to copy my custom
dictionary to Word as I have an extensive medical vocabulary listed. Is this possible or do I have to re-enter everything as I go again on the new computer? |

How can I copy a custom dictionary to a new computer
Unless you chose a different file name, it's called Custom.dic. The article
at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm explains how to locate it. Just copy it from the old computer to the new computer. (If the versions of Word and/or Windows are different, use the same method to find the location on the new computer, as it may be different.) -- Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org "Sandgroper" wrote: I have just had a new computer built and would like to copy my custom dictionary to Word as I have an extensive medical vocabulary listed.
