Word dictionary backup

[Guest]

I'm a translator so since I refomatted and installed XP I've added over a
thousand new technical words to my english dictionary which I would like to
backup and install in my Notebook (also XP). How do I go about, anyone???
Please help!

Sou um tradutor, então desde que reformatei e instalei o XP já adicionei
mais que mil palavras técnicas novas no dicionário inglês que quero instalar
no meu Notebook (também XP). Alguem sabe como fazer isso? Por favor!

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm for backup issues in
general. Unless you've created a specific custom dictionary for your
technical terms, Custom.dic is the file you want to back up.

Well Suzanne, thnaks so far, you pointed me to a file, that's half the battle
over, only my search mechanism, can't or won't find it, so where is
custom.dic located in XP so I can perform a backup?

Turn on display of hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer
or My Computer by clicking on Tools | Folder Options | View tab |
click the "Show hidden files and folders" radio button | OK.
Then search again.

Thanx garfield. I use this config permanently so couldn't figure out why it
wouldn't show me. in the end I found it, after going into My PC > tolls >

Then all the *.dic files appeared as if by magic

In XP the file I found with my personal additions was not custom.dic
but user.dic inside my very own data and settings file

Happy hunting
