LO is designed for "normal people" who have no tech knowledge, nor are they
interested and this feature is totally incomprehensible even to me.
Help does not help either. Nor do the instructions if you google.
You may think that this is an enhancement. I think most of LO users will
differ, after all, one of the quality attributes is "usability", and this is
definitely a failure. See Karl Wiegers, Steve McConnell, let alone IEEE/ISO
standards
