[libreoffice-users] "Add to dictionary" doesn't work
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?

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.
