How to copy the dictionary from one PC to another

Hi,

I am migrating my projects from one VM to another, and I found out that all my dictionary entries, as well as the autocomplete entries were not transported.

Does anybody know how I could do that?

Thank you

    Hi Peter,

     

    Actually, as you were thinking, the files are in "...<User>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\RoboHelp Personal Dictionary\en_US\added.txt".

    In case someone else is asking.

    The dictionary terms are not stored in projects as they work across all projects. I don't know where they are stored but I my guess would be AppData.

     

    Try making up a word and adding it to the dictionary. Then use a search tool to find it. I find Ultra Search very good for that sort of search. Of course it could be that I am right about the location but the data is in a file type that cannot be read that way.
