--- Comment #2 from Paul <[email protected]> ---
Had to double check the line numbering. Thing is, I have MS Word 2010, and when
I open a non-modified template in it, I can't see any line numbers at all. I
did not notice this behavior before. A modified template (with that BiDi
removed) shows line numbers on the left, and so does any document based on this
template, but saved by LibreOffice.

To be honest, I lack expertise in OpenXML formats, so I don't quite understand
why that BiDi should affect table layout throughout the document, but not the
text (which is obviously LTR). Is the "last section" referring to something
reserved for page setup (like line numbering and other options), instead of
literally the last section (e.g., the last paragraph of text) of the document?

I can indeed fix the document both my way and the way you described, but later
when save it back into *.docx, the line numbers are, of course, shown on the
left. And it seems I need a version of word with RTL support installed to fix
this without XML editing. Not sure whether we can do anything about it, if
*.docx itself lacks options for line number positioning.
