Hmm, I'd say a mistranslation - in my English version of StarOffice,
they are "Orphan Control" and "Widow Control".

in German UI the corresponding words are
"Schusterjungenregelung"
(Schusterjunge = son of a shoemaker) and
Hm, it took me a minute, but, "schuster" == "shoe -er", yes?

"Hurenkinderregelung"
(Hurenkinder = children of a whore).

"Ein Hurenkind weiß nicht, wo es herkommt,
ein Schusterjunge nicht, wo er hingeht."
[A child of a whore doesn't know, where it comes from,
a son of a shoemaker doesn't know, where he's going to.]

"The easiest way to remember the difference between and an orphan and
a widow is to remember that orphans are "left behind" and widows are
forced to "go on ahead by themselves" just as an orphan or widow in
life."

ord, i början eller slutet av ett stycke, som hamnat på annan sida
eller i annan spalt än resten av stycket. [...]"

også disse ordene fra tysk, hvor begrepene «Hurenkind» («horebarn»,
det vil si tysk horunge) og «Schusterjunge» (bokstavelig
«skomakergutt» eller «-lærling», i overført betydning« «en nesevis
krabat») har vært innarbeidet gjennom flere århundrer. [...]"
