For a while now I have been looking for a decent (preferably freeware) program to open and edit msword documents, especially in Hebrew. I have recently discovered that Abiword now has Hebrew support. I downloaded the windows version (I am running Hebrew windows98).
I find it works well with English msword documents, but with Hebrew is depends on the fonts. Times New Roman works fine, (or courier in "plain text" mode), but in all other fonts the Hebrew is reversed. Even with Times New Roman there seems to be a problem with the left parentheses being reversed. Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions on how to use (or at least read word documents with) other Hebrew fonts.
