In fact, WP also has STYLES. It's not about the same thing.


While we're at it: The other thing WP can do (Ctrl-W) is insert all sorts of characters that are not on the keyboard, and many are not attainable by the Compose key either. I think there are 10 screens worth of characters and symbols, each one having some 40 or so available. At some point, MS Word actually copied this verbatim, Ctrl-W and all, but then they took it out--maybe the WP people sued them. That must have been about 1990. So I don't know if OO can put that feature in, or if WP would sue them.
But it sure is handy sometimes.

If you OO devs are reading this, please consider adding both Reveal Codes and Ctrl-W.
