Custom Dictionary is full; Word 2016

When I try to add a new word to my Custom Dictionary in Word 2016, I get this dialog box:

I have seen elsewhere on the Web an instruction for Microsoft machines to retitle and replace the Custom Dictionary, but for some reason I have not yet found my Custom Dictionary on my Mac.   (I have looked in the Application Support folder for both my Word 2011 and Word 2016.)   

What do I do?

Answer

Moving the Custom Dictionary to a new location seems to have worked for me, too.   The document is now at ~/UserName/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office.   As I reported last month, Word placed the Custom Dictionary at ~/UserName/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Library/Preferences.   But I have had it in UBF8T346G9.Office for two weeks now, and, so far, so good.
