I agree. I filed an issue about this but my issue was complicated by a

Where did you get this quote, from the list or from a problem you logged?
This was the response to an issue I filed.
My suggestion is that you find a better word processor. Writer seems to
be based on Word and any M$ software is a bad model.
Really.. I don't think Write is modeled after Word. Although at times I think
the developers make things work that way to keep people from complaining
becase it does't work exactly the same..
When you find a better suite come back here and let us know what it is so we
can all change.. Fred
Yes. That was poorly worded. I meant that it imitates M$ Word.
For Linux, there are several wordprocessors. A couple have been
mentioned favourably at the local users' group but I have not paid
attention because these days I have very little use for a word
processor. I know Abiword is one application which is held in more
esteem than Writer.
Before migrating to Linux, I used Lotus' Wordpro (formerly Amipro).
Although it was somewhat dated, it was (and still is) streets ahead of
Writer, Word or WordPerfect. It provided some desktop publishing
features as well as straight word processing. If I was still captive to
the M$ OS, I would use the Lotus products still, in preference to
anything else which is available.
