Created attachment 188666 [details] Screenshots of the "Mono" feature in Microsoft Word This is a request for a feature which exists in Microsoft Word but doesn't in LibreOffice Writer. When adding the Asian Phonetic Guide in Microsoft Word, the "Mono" button divides the base text into single characters. This is immensely useful for Japanese-language users including myself. In LibreOffice Writer, this feature doesn't exist, meaning whenever we want to add phonetic guides by character, we either have to select each character individually or select multiple characters and then re-enter each character manually. Both options significantly slow down the workflow. If you could add the "Mono" feature for LibreOffice Writer, that would be fantastic. Let me know if anything is unclear. Please see attachment for more details.
