hyphenation of uppercase words

[johnny smith <ka...@krovatka.su>]

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.)
