Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 109588
Cannot mix numbers and RTL text vertically
Last modified: 2010-02-25 16:11:07 UTC
Writer cannot show numbers and RTL text together vertically. Steps to reproduce: 1* Open a new document (LTR or RTL, both are affected) 2* Create 10x1 table (10 columns, 1 row) 3* In one of the cells paste this info (without quotes): """ דותן כהן 054-7881700 """" 4* Select the entire table 5* Format -> Character -> Position -> Rotation -> 90 degress Note that in RTL-enabled systems, by playing with the LTR/RTL settings I can get the text _or_ the numbers to be vertical, but not both.
Confirmation of this behaviour on Mac (OOo 3.2 Dutch on iMac Intel Max OS X 10.5.8). To me it seems that rotating text doesn't work for RTL text.
Confirmed in OOo 3.1.1 Win XP Pro. Here part of the RTL gets rotated and part doesn't.
OP here, I should have mentioned my platform as well: Kubuntu 9.10
