I found I have a counterfiet copy of Office 2003 and found my OEM with valid ID. I assume I must uninstall and then reinstall how do I save my custom dictionary and signature for word?

Hello thefishmeister,

You might not have to uninstall/reinstall. Give this a look-see first: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/895456/en-us

You can use the Office 2003 Save My Settings Wizard: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826809 The custom dictionary(ies) is(are) saved in the <AppData>\Microsoft\Proof folder and the signatures are saved in the <AppData>\Microsoft\Signatures folder.

For more detailed info on how to backup and restore Office documents and settings, please visit the Office newsgroups: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.office.misc&lang=en&cr=US
