I am converting from Office 2000 to Office 2003 next week and wondered if in
the upgrade process the Word 00 standard and custom dictionaries transfer
automatically to Word 03. If not, is there a straight forward way to save and
transfer the data files after the upgrade to Word 03 is completed.

Any custom dictionaries you have created will be retained. The "standard"
dictionary is the built-in lexicon that is part of the Office Proofing
Tools, which will be installed with Office 2003.
