I simply copy the dictionary to an external medium, such as a thumb drive; it's easily done, along with any other custom files you want to protect. I believe they're found under user settings. I have quite a bit of practice, since Freedom Scientific crippled the dictionary a couple of years back. Any word with an asterisk is now carved in stone, unless you use a text editor to change it. I think 12 has remedied the situation somewhat, but don't know if its fixed entirely.

Then shift control D should get you to the default dictionary manager.
