Is there a possibility to divide the windows like it is possible MS Word?

(A part of me really hopes the key accelerators for this are Ctrl-x 2 and Ctrl-x 3 :-)

Short answer: at the moment, no.

It's been a long-standing feature request:

  • Bug #31481 - Nov. 2010 (split view for 2 documents)
  • Bug #42428 - Oct. 2011 (split view for single document)

It was first reported in Apache OpenOffice in 2003: - Bug #19291

It would be interesting to bring this to discussion on the user interface and visual design mailing list.
