Hello,
I would like to transfer the custom dictionary from my old
computer.
Where it is stored and how to transfer it to the new computer?

But if you have Office 2007 installed, it ain't gonna help. See replies to
your other thread.

The file name is CUSTOM.DIC and you may have more than one of them.
Depending on how your registry is configured, different applications may
use different copies of the file.

Mine happens to be at

C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Application
Data\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC
where xxxx is my Windows logon name.
