Right-click menu "Stycke" and choose "TextFlöde" to get to the place.
It reads out "horunge" which in swedish means "son of a whore"

Hmm, I'd say a mistranslation - in my English version of StarOffice,
they are "Orphan Control" and "Widow Control".
[lol]
Some like it (others not) -
in German UI the corresponding words are
"Schusterjungenregelung"
(Schusterjunge = son of a shoemaker) and
"Hurenkinderregelung"
(Hurenkinder = children of a whore).
These idioms belong to the language of German typesetters;
they were popular in early 20th century and are still in use today
(in typesetting - but not everybody seems to understand it).
It's a figurative comparison between 'lost children' and
'lost paragraphs' ... (a little bit HipHop) ... ;-)
