I've worked around the outliner problem by using the method proposed in Issue
18024, namely by adding an RLM after Hebrew paragraphs that end in a weak
character. This solves almost all the problems when importing the attached
presentations.
Two problems that are not solved seem to stem from old PPT formats:
1) in 2002a.ppt, slide 5, the numbers prefixing each line are on the right in
PPT and on the left in OOo. If I load 2002a.ppt into PPT 2002, I see that slide
5 has its text direction as LTR and the alignment to the right. If you select
the text, then change to text direction to RTL, the display is the same. Change
it back to LTR, the display changes. Save it and load it into OOo, and the
display is the same as in PPT 2002. Apparently saving the same content in PPT
2002 causes changes in the format, and OOo handles the new format correctly.
2) in radiohercog.ppt, slide 2, the periods ending the RTL sentences on the
bottom appear on the left in PPT, and on the right in OOo. Here again, I loaded
the file into PPT 2002, made a change to the text in the upper half of the
screen, which is a different text object altogether, then saved the file. When I
loaded the newly saved file into OOo, it was imported correctly, including the
text object on the bottom, to which I had made no changes. Apparently, the
problem stemmed from the old format.
All other text in all the attached presentations looks fine, when using this
method.
I'm attaching a patch, which is not admittedly very pretty, and specialized only
for Hebrew. Perhaps it can help someone can pick up the ball at this point and
either solve the problem in the outliner, or at least solve it during PPT
import, but in a more generalized way that would work for other RTL languages as
well.
