dear users,

is there a way to forbid the automatic hyphenation of uppercase words in writer 
to prevent acronyms from breaking between lines?

i was able to find only a workaround of listing all uppercase words in a custom 
dictionary, but that requires creating a new entry each time one types a new 
acronym, which is not convinient enough. it's possible also to insert 
zero-width non-breaking spaces (U+2060) between the letters, but that is 
unnatural and can induce bugs when the word is copied to a plaintext file or if 
the font used has no U+2060 character (which seems to be the case even for 
times new roman, although inserting from dejavu fonts is available). an easy 
one-tick-to-rule-them-all option is needed.

(meanwhile, the feature is included with ms word and easily discoverable on the 
web. it seems to be disadvantageous for the openoffice community.)
