If you didn't do anything unusual and just added items to the dictionary by clicking Add when the spell-checker complained, then your items are in the file %appdata%\Microsoft\Proof\Custom.dic (you can verify this by going to Tools Options Spelling & Grammar and clicking the Custom Dictionaries button). Just copy that file to the same place on the new computer. You might have to visit the same Options dialog on the new computer and make sure the dictionary's checkbox is checked. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

No, AutoCorrect entries are stored entirely separately from dictionary
entries. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...utocorrect.htm.
