Hi, Does anyone know how to backup custom dictionary in mac office 2011 to office 365 for mac?
I'm trying to help a lady who writes books that have been collecting words for 10 years, and it's very sad to lose it all when she buying new Macbook air.


It's a little strange that there's no easy way to take backup on, not as I know at least

This link might point you in the right direction:

File Backup (Students) - Mac Office 2011 Custom Dictionary Backup - WSU Technology Knowledge Base

Also here:
Word 2007 & Later Key Data File Locations (pinned in this forum)
Although that is a Windows resource, it gives the file name: Custom.dic which should be the same on the Mac. (I see from Moonshine's link a different name of "Custom Dictionary.") You may or may not need to change the name with Office 365.

The Custom dictionary is a text file sorted in alphabetical order, one word per line. It can be edited in a text editor as well as in Word.
