Transkribing a 200 pages manuscript takes really long. You can imagine what it means if I have to insert 4-5 word joiners per word... and how many keystrokes this would mean. Well, if OOo would provide an option to do that automatically if no white space preceeds the PUA character, that would be great! I think it would be easy to implement, could be turned on and off, and no changes to the line breaking routines would be necessary...
