I am writing directly to all of you as the issue became so severe and critical. I reported a few times (see also bellow) about a critical bug In Open Office writing from right to left (Hebrew) ... when using bullets or numbering and exporting to WORD or saving in Word format all sublevels and levels are lost the all formatting are also lost. Today I installed the new version 2.2 ... and its a disaster ... even when opening the DOC format in open Office itself again ruin all the formatting and sublevels ... not only when opened in MS WORD. Basically instead of fixing the situation you make it worst and totally impossible to work with this software in Hebrew even without any concerns to WORD !!! How could something like that happen ? Is some one going to fix this issue ASAP - at least as it was before or is the Hebrew market totally doesn't interest anyone there ? For years I am amazed that in a high-tech country like Israel which such a potential use of Office tools (MS sell about $60,000,000 in Israel of Office SW alone yearly ... you can calculate how many copies it means ...) ... and with almost all the important companies in the world having developments center and subsidiaries - and I am not even mentioning speaking about Israeli companies like AMDOCS, COMVERSE, NICE ... and many others - your organization doesn't even try to solve such a critical problem that could change the market. A few years ago all Israeli government agencies , ministries and army forces were ready to throw MS Office out and adopt Open Office ... the English product was great but when they tried the Hebrew version they returned immediately to sign a contract with MS ... The Hebrew version look like a VERY bad joke ! Why are you releasing a Hebrew version at all in such a situation and status ... so buggy and unprofessional ... that cause only damage to your product and organization image here and eventually worldwide through the numerous international companies that work and develop here ... It would be better if you wouldn't release it at all in its former and especially current situation where it make a joke from Sun Microsystems and your organization locally ! What a miss ... but apparently no one really care ! Please let me know your answer.
