Why doesn't calc pick up new words I have added to the dictionary.

I have words I use often in Calc. I have added them to the dictionary but they still show up as misspelled words when I start using Calc. Sometimes they are recognized later. Since the last update they are not showing up as known words at all. Mepis 12 Beta system. Should be same a Debian Wheezy in this regard.

We need to know what version of Libre Office you’re working with (“since the last update” is a little vague!). And have you checked other Q&A’s dealing with dictionary issues?

I am working with Version 4.0.3.3 (Build ID 400m0 (Build 3))
Thanks
