Description alan 2004-09-27 10:28:17 UTC
When importing an MS Word RTL document (in this case Hebrew) that has a word
combined with numerals and Latin letters, the order of the numerals and digits
is sometimes reversed.

Example:
In Word, while in RTL mode, if you type "V", then "12", it is displayed as "12V" .
If the same document is imported into OOo, it is displayed as "V12".

MRU->MMAHER: in RTL text, the import mixes the order of numbers and latin
characters.

i just want to add that when typing the entire document in OOo (2.4.0 debian
sid) it all works fine, as expected. it is something with the import (i guess)
