LibreOffice doc. showing inter-pahe hyphens

If Hyphenation is set to "Automatically" (in Paragraph Style > Text Flow),
there is a problem with words hyphenating from one page to another.

According to New Harts Rules (OUP, 2005, "Line Endings", p. 40), a recto
(right-hand) page should not end with a hyphen (probably the same rule in the
Chicago Manual of Style). This rule obviously applies to hard copy in  book
format; but for PC documents it also makes sense to apply the restriction on
hyphenation to "verso" (left-hand) pages.

For example, open the attached document. Look at the hyphenation from pp. 1-2,
and 5-6. This is awkward to read. In a long document, you have to turn off
hyphenation for each hyphenated "inter-page" word : this is time-consuming, and
a document update may require you to do the whole thing over again.

SUGGESTION: Add two tick-box options to the Paragraph Style > Text Flow TAB:

1. Don't hyphenate words from recto to verso pages.
2. Don't hyphenate words across any pages.

Instead of hypenation, the last word will be moved, automatically, to the next
page.
