RSS ALL ARTICLES FEATURES ONLY TRIVIA Search How-To Geek Transfer or Move Your Microsoft Office Custom Dictionary One of our great readers wrote in yesterday asking how to migrate the custom Office dictionary from one computer to another, and it seemed worthy enough to write about for everybody's benefit. Thanks Josh! If you've ever seen the squiggly red line under a word and chosen the "Add to Dictionary" option, then you will realize what I'm talking about… all of those words are stored in a custom dictionary file, and can be really annoying to re-enter on a new computer.

Either way the dialog above should tell you the full path. Once you go into that directory you should see the CUSTOM.dic file, which is what you'll want to back up and transfer to the same location on the other system… or you could put it somewhere else if you'd like, for instance in your Documents folder. Note that if you open the file you should be able to see all of your custom words. Just don't ma
