Are the "importing doc files" and "tables inside tables" problems specific to Hebrew, or general OpenOffice bugs? Can you point to bugs on OpenOffice.org's bug tracker, that perhaps we can vote on? Come to think of it, is anybody aware of a list of Hebrew or Israel specific OpenOffice bugs tracked in OpenOffice.org's bug tracker? About Hspell integration: Well, on any official build (not just the Hebrew build), you can use the Hspell-derived "myspell" dictionary. You can install it yourself using OpenOffice's menus (the "dicoo wizard"), or your distribution can install it for you (in Fedora, the "openoffice.org-langpack-he_IL" package gives you Hebrew spell-checking for OpenOffice, out of the box). Indeed, integrating the Hspell code itself - not just the myspell-format - makes Hebrew spell-checking much faster, consume less memory, and in some issues, better. I think this is what they did with the Hebrew build. But can you really expect the default builds of OpenOffice to include something as obscure as a Hebrew-spellchecker (even if the entire Hspell is just 100K)? Also, I wonder if the "right thing to do" is for OpenOffice to include a copy of Hspell (like they do now), or to use an installed version of Hspell. -- Nadav Har'El | Friday, Jan 19 2007, 29 Tevet 5767 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |God created the world out of nothing, but http://nadav.harel.org.il |the nothingness still shows through. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
