Where is the custom dictionary?
Shortly moving to a nice new shiny up to the minute PC. (YAY!) As a church
minister I have used Word on the old machine for a long time, and the user dictionary has lots of Biblical words and names in it. Rather than have to spend months putting them in again when using them can I just transfer a file to the new PC that contains all those words? I am using MS Office XP (2002) on Windows XP Pro SP2. I have looked in the File Locations panel of the Options menu but can't find any reference to it. Thanks. -- Peter in New Zealand. (Pull the plug out to reply.)

1. I'm jealous. I'm using a 6½ yr old computer.

Awesome both of you. My grateful thanks. Oh, and I retire soon, all the kids
have flown the nest, and this will be the last computer I will ever buy, so it's gotta be a goodie JoAnn! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Custom.dic is probably what you're looking for.

Famous last words. You realize that you will live to eat those words, don't
you? My mom said the same thing - she bought a new one (her second) last year. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Peter in New Zealand" peterbalplugATxtra.co.nz wrote in message ...

Most of here are living to eat Word.
