Also reported at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35326966/extract-wrong-paragraph-direction-in-word-using-apache-poi-library File the following as not exceedingly useful. Y, I'd want the same behavior that you expected. With a test doc with one paragraph of Arabic and one paragraph of English, I was not able to see any difference in the paragraph properties or in the run properties between those two paragraphs and their runs. In the MS-DOC spec, p. 275, there should be a specification for LtrPara/RtlPara or LtrRun/Rtl run in the FCI enumeration, which is stored in the CidFci. I don't think we're currently extracting these command fields...could be wrong though. |
Created attachment 33545 [details] The Word document contains RTL content I use paragraph.cloneProperties().getFBiDi to get the directional information for paragraphs. When HWPFDocument reads Arabic/Hebrew documents, I would expect that getFBiDi returns TRUE for the RTL paragraphs. However, it returns FALSE that represents "LTR" direction.
