Where is the custom dictionary?

[Peter in New Zealand]

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.

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!

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. ;-)

Yesy, yeah, yeah. Said it when I bought my Commodore Vic 20 (and that wasn't
yesterday)
