Are you sure you weren't using third-party voice-recognition software?

Thank you Garfield. Trust me it WAS possible with the earlier versions.
When you altered the information it used to say it was saving it to such
and
such a file and it was an easy matter to save the file to another
location.
Now it just saves it but does not tell you where or how. I'm scared
something will go wrong and I'll have to go all through that tedious
re-education routine.

Sad it has been changed.

Thanks anyway.

As far as I know, it was NEVER possible "just to move the file
containing
all the 'educated' voice commands" because the speech profile was not
stored in one explicit file, and it was not even possible to back up the
speech profile before Microsoft developed this speech profile manager
tool. According to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283159
"Frequently
asked questions about speech recognition":

26. Are the speech recognition training files backed up by the Save
My
Settings Wizard and the Profile Wizard? If not, is there a way to do
this
manually and restore to a new system?

Currently these utilities do not save the speech recognition training
profile because they are designed for migration to another computer. It
is
not very useful to restore user profiles to a different computer on
which
audio channel may have a different character. If you have to back up and
to restore a profile to the same system, you can use the Speech Profile
Manager utility.

For more information about the Speech Profile Manager utility, visit the
following Microsoft Web site:

Thank you Garfield but I'm not sure what to do now. I have downloaded
the
file, installed it and I have run it but I still am unable to find
where
the original file is stored. It would appear to have the extension
*.spf
but there is no such file on my computer.

In some of the older version it was possible just to move the file
containing all the 'educated' voice commands to a safe place and
restore
it should the original be lost. This Word 2003 has me stumped. I just
can't find where all those stored records are.

TIA
