WW8: Import of RTL documents will reverse order of numerals and Latin letters
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:52 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.
mmaher->flr: Your's methinks
ayaniger->flr: Have you had a chance to look at this Word import issue?

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)
