I am inserting a slightly edited version of the description from issue 92458
until the requirements document is complete.

Dictionaries normally include the first word on the page in the header on the
upper left and the last word on the page in the header on the upper right. I am
calling these the guide words. Open office has a field code for chapter that
allows a paragraph style to be specified and the contents of the paragraph with
that style will be included in subsequent headers. This feature would be
implemented with another field code that allowed the user to specify a character
style (as opposed to a paragraph style) and whether the first or last element of
that style on the page should be used. (Similar to StyleRef in Word) Thus unlike
chapter, the first (or last) sequence of characters marked with this style on
the current page (rather than subsequent pages) would appear in the header.
(Note that some dictionary entires are more than one word.) Some words will also
have a homophone number after them (usually superscripted or subscripted).
Presumably if such a field code existed, a second instance could be used to
capture the homophone number on the first or last entry (if there was one) and
put it in the header. (Likely the formatting of the homophone number would be
like that in the entry and frequently the homophone number on the first or last
entry would be non-existant.
