Adding and removing custom words
You can use the Data Distribution Tool to make new words available to all end-users on a particular
installation of Dragon.
Before you use the Data Distribution Tool, you must create a data distribution directory. For
more information, see Creating the Data Distribution Directory.
You must first either create a text file or export words from an existing end-user's installation of
Dragon before you can distribute the words (for example, a list of new drug names) to a different

re-open the User Profiles, and save them for the changes to become available.
