I'm a little annoyed at this response since I was told to submit it as a bug IN brainstorm! I mentioned this is the bug report...
" Note: This was originally posted as a brainstorm idea, but I was told to file it as a bug, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/27840/. Thankyou." As Brendan mentions, LO Writer comes up in a software centre search for "word", the behaviour should be the same in the dash/application lens, so this is a bug (!).
