If you open the file for editing as described in that article, you can save
it wherever you want by using File, Save As. Also by using the Save As
dialog you can see exactly where the file is. It will probably be in the
following location

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC

where <username> is the name you are currently logged on as a user.

This folder is not necessarily easy to find as the Application Data folder
is usually configured as a hidden folder.
