What everyone seems to be missing is these aren't separate document files. All
tabbed divisions exist in a single LWP file. I un-hid the comments which
someone flagged as off-topic so you can have a better idea of what people are
really asking for. Those images are highly relevant to understanding this.

A tabbed division is "conceptually" a separate document but it physically
exists in the hierarchy tree of the LWP file. 

When you change the position of a tabbed division, i.e. dragging it between 2
others, you physically change its hierarchical position in the file. You can
save that file, copy to a thumb drive, take to another machine, and it will
open up with those tabs in that order.

Unless the OpenDocument specification is going to expand/change, this isn't
something that can be "faked" into LO. Others can way in, but as far as I know,
LWP was the only file format to support this.

Scrivener has something now, but I don't know what it is.
