Description johnhsneed 2014-04-21 01:52:39 UTC 
I use a user-defined dictionary in v4.0.1.
I would like to migrate my dictionary over to v4.1,
There is no function to accomplish an import/export for my dictionary (the dictionary is not even saved in the filesystem as a unique file).
Now I have to re-populate a new file in v4.1?

Help?

Applicable to the "IgnoreAll" list also.

This is no duplicate. Issue 118528 is about autocorrect list and this one is about a dictionary.

The user dictionaries are stored in the folder "workbook" in the "user" directory. When you install version 4.1 over a previous 4.0.1 the default behavior is, that the old user directory is retained. To be sure backup the folder before installing. The user dictionaries are .dic files. You can simply copy them to the new workbook folder if needed, for example when moving to a new hardware. A user dictionary is a plain text file. In contrast to the autocorrect list no special import or export is needed.
