For the uninitiated: It's fairly notorious both for the frustration among power MS Office users who try to switch to OOo (personally I find OOo extremely inconvenient to use compared to MS Office specifically for the lack of this feature) and for the OOo developers denial, thickheadedness and mismanagement of the issue (initially due to terminology and communication problems). The issue is over 8 years old now. I am infinitely more productive in MS Office and OOo Writer remains not worth the hassle. At least they've resigned themselves to accepting that OOo doesn't have this feature and ignoring it, rather than constantly insisting that the functionality already exists.
