This program is not a Microsoft product, many discrepancies will exist
between the way things are done. Some will seem worse to the average
Microsoft product user, not necessarily because they are worse, but
because they are different. Others seem better, for years i wondered why
the option to alter the page layout was under the file menu in Word, in
Writer it is "Format - Page" which just makes sense to me given "Format
- Character" and "Format - Paragraph" etc.

Nobody is going to make this program a replica of your favourite
Microsoft Program. A clone can never be better than the original, it can
only ever be an also-ran copy of it. So allowing that OO.o is not a
clone perhaps you should allow that there will be differences, some of
them may be inconvenient to the way you do your work. You may need to
decide if you can live with it.

You could also see if someone else has asked for them as a feature
enhancement and vote on them, or ask for them as enhancements yourself.
This is the correct method for requesting feature enhancements. Remember
that each miniscule feature enhancement adds to the download size and
bloats and perhaps slows the software.
