Description seqram 2005-11-06 16:25:52 UTC 
In multicolumn text (not tables!) with RTL text, the columns are in the wrong
order.  The first column is on the left and the next to the right, which would
make sense for LTR, whereas it should go the other way.  Likely the same problem
exists on all platforms and OSs; I only confirmed it on PC/Linux.

Reassigned to SBA.

@seqram:
pls. attach a sample file here in the issue report page
Comment 3 Rainer Bielefeld 2006-10-01 08:02:01 UTC 
Same problem as in  Issue 59485?
Comment 4 cbrunet 2007-03-23 17:02:34 UTC 
Yes, this would be a great ENHANCEMENT.
Not the same as Issue 59485 because the later applies to calc.
Comment 5 stefan.baltzer 2007-07-09 15:32:30 UTC 
SBA:The text direction for the page setting must be ajusted to Right-To-Left, too:
How to set this (CTL support must be enabled!)
 - Format-Page- Tab "page"
-> In List box "Text direction", choose "Right-to-Left" (horizontal), OK
 - done

Now a multi-column page will start on top right.
Set to "invalid"
Comment 6 stefan.baltzer 2007-07-09 15:35:37 UTC 
SBA: Note: For frequent use, better change the page styles (and/or the default
template) accordingly.
Closed.
