You need to:

1. Set a character style to the dictionary "headwords" as already
suggested in this thread,

2. Then, using a macro (can't see any way to do that with standard tools
in Writer),

2.a. search forward from the beginning of the page for the very first
character sequence on a page with that style
-> you've found the "first" word

2.B. similarly from the end of the page, search backwards for the very
last character sequence formatted using that style
-> you've found the "last" word.

And that's it. Well, I'm completely unable to write any such piece of
code but no doubt this can be done, though the devil might be in some
details.
