Milo: Saving normal.dot and custom.dic

[Guest]

I back up my "My Documents" folder weekly. As such, I was thrilled to learn
how to move and repoint all my OE and Outlook data to a file under "My Docs"
so it will automatically be backed up.

Is there a way to do that with the files I use in Word such as
normal.dot and custom.dic?

And are there any others that I should add to the list (even if I can't
redirect them; knowing which back up manually would be great).

Thanks for all you guys do!

You can define the location of both files.
Normal.dot from tools > options > file locations > user templates
Custom.dic from Tools > options > Spelling & Grammar > Custom dictionaries.
(Whether this will affect custom dictionaries used by other applications I
cannot say without further experiment and you can do that for yourself
