Where are my spell check files?

Bobby

Can anyone tell me the location of my spell correction file i.e. the words
that I have added to my dictionary?

I have to re-install Windows and don't want to have to re-educate Word.

Thanks.

PS running Office 2003 under XPSP2.

Your additions to Word's dictionary are in the CUSTOM.DIC file which is
probably in the C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Proof folder.
