OK, I seem to have found a partial answer to my own question...
How to sync Windows Word custom dictionary with WM2003 custom.dic

Sent by Mark to msn.news: "I've managed to get my PPC 2002 spell check custom dictionary to sync with the desktop one used by Office, so that I don't have to add all my technical
terms all over again:

ON PPC:
1) Using a registry editor, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Spell Check
2) Change the User_Dict value to \My Documents\Custom.dic
3) Using File Explorer, cut and paste the file "custom.dic" from the windows
folder into the My Documents Folder.

ON THE DESKTOP:
1) Open Word, and go to Tools/Options/Spelling and Grammar tab. Click on
Custom Dictionaries, and take note of the location of your custom.dic file
2) Using Windows Explorer, copy (not cut) and paste Custom.dic from that
location into the My Documents folder that syncs with you PPC.
3) Go back to Word, and Click Add.
4) Browse to your newly pasted Custom.dic, and click OK.
5) Click on the newly added dictionary, and then click Change Default.
6) Click OK twice.

Done. As far as I can tell, making these changes in Word also makes the same
changes for the other Office programms, so you don't have to go into each
separately."
Now I just have to find how to edit this file to Word's liking.
