------- Additional comments from am...@openoffice.org Tue Dec 22 19:17:52 +0000 2009 ------- When I create a document in Hebrew and save it in Word 97/2000/XP format, the text alignment is somehow changed between succesive saves. I'm running oowriter 3.1.1 version 310m19 on Debian Lenny Linux. Here are the details: 1. Start oowriter. 2. The Default paragraph style contains: - Options: Left - Text Direction: Use superordinate object settings 3. Change Text Direction to Right-to-left; Options is changed to Right. 6. Write a couple of words in Hebrew. The text is displayed correctly, from right to left and right-aligned. 7. Save the file as Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) document. 8. Close the file. 9. Open it. Now the text is displayed incorrectly: it is left-aligned. When looking at the paragraph style it shows: - Options: Left (it shoule be Right) - Text Direction: Right-to-left When looking at the file in Word 2007 on Windows XP Pro the text is displayed correctly, though. The test continue: 10. Save the file with a different name - do "save as", just change its name - do not change anything else. 11. Close the file, then open it. 12. The file (the second one) looks okay!? - the "Options" was, somehow, changed to "Right". But if I now open it in Word, the text is left-aligned (this is wrong) - when OO display the text correctly Word display it incorrectly, and vise versa. If you continue this cycle - you start with file a that you create as in the first steps, save it to b, then save b to c, c to d, and so on, every time you save it the "Options" toggles between Right and Left. This toggling occurs also if you just save the same file - e.g., do a little change (delete a single character, then re-type it), save the file, and close it. When you open it again, the alignment is toggled! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
