"Add to dictionary" doesn't work

#1

Running LO 6.1.3.2 on Fedora 28 workstation.

I am editing a number of technical documents which include words not in the
Libre Office dictionary so when I encounter them I click "add to dictionary".

That works fine so long as the current file is open but as soon as I close the
file the dictionary forgets about the words that I have added and the next
document shows all the technical words as spelling errors.

Is this a known error?

Regards,

John

Tools > Options > Language settings > Writing Aides. Under User-defined dictionaries, click New. Name your new dictionary. You do not have to select a language for this dictionary unless necessary. [All] will work in all languages. Click OK.

Now when you right click on a new technical term, you again click "Add to Dictionary". This time you will see a list of dictionaries including the one you created. Click it to add the term to you new dictionary.

Thanks worked perfectly.

Interestingly, when I add a word to the standard dictionary now it also sticks
over restarts.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Seems to be the same in V 6.2.2.2
