I came up the the answer to my own question. I used this Save My Settings
wizard, then I inserted a dummy word (an obvious misspelling into the
custom.dic file), then saved that file. (in the Application
Data/Microsoft/Proof folder. To make sure, I typed in that word in a new
Word document, and there was no red squiggly line. I then used the Save My
Settings wizard to restore the profile info that I had just saved, and then
in a new doc, the dummy word was indicated as a misspelling, which must mean
that the .ops file over-wrote the custom.dic file with a previously saved
version.

I would like to back up my custom.dic file. I already utilize the Save My
Settings Wizard--does this back up the dictionary automatically? Or is this
something I will have to do manually? Also, I use a macro from a Word MVP
site that backs up the acl entries. I assume that these acl entries are
separate from the custom.dic file?
