------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue May 15 15:19:14 +0000 2007 ------- I think that as a default, right-alignment would be preferable to automatic, since automatic alignment based on text content sometimes has undesirable results. However, it would be very helpful for Excel import if automatic alignment existed as an option. Currently, I use a very ugly patch which examines each cell when importing, and changes the alignment of each "Context" cell to right-aligned, if that cell begins in Hebrew. I posted this patch to Issue 37905. I think that I've since revised it. If there was a "Context" option in OOo, the patch would be unnecessary, since Excel "Context" would be converted to OOo "Context". Additionally, many Excel users are used to this option, and would prefer not to be forced to give it up. However, we would not want it when importing text or HTML files. Thanks for the tip about ScGlobal::IsSystemRTL(). One other point: I want to keep the default text direction as left-to-right, since RTL text direction causes a mess if you try to type a formula like “=SUM(A1:A3)”. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
