Custom dictionaries

[paula]

Hello,

I am upgrading to Word 2007 from Word 2002. I have a couple custom
dictionary (custom.dic) files from Word 2002 that I'd like to install in Word
2007. Where is the best place to store these? Does Word 2007 use the same
file name for its custom dictionary? I can't find one, instead finding all
sorts of other dictionary files.

Thanks in advance!
Pauline

Hi Pauline

Yes, Word 2007 can still use custom.dic as one of the personal dictionaries (they can be language/dialect specific). If you use
Office Button=>Word Options=>Proofing
and click on the [Custom Dictionaries] button you should see the File Path that stores the Custom.dic file. You can paste yours to
that folder using the [Browse] button.
