Does anyone know where the contents of words autocorrect are stored? I have added many items in autocorrect and would like to back them up, rather than backing up all of the word files.

I appologize ahead of time if this is incorrect. But, if you're just talking about the dictionary that's used it's stored at (C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof
Insert whatever your username in that path (administrator, john, etc.).
The file is called "CUSTOM.DIC"

Thanks anyway
