[libreoffice-users] Re: Combining vertical text direction of page with ‘right-to-left’ text direction of a table
Dear Regina, thank you very much that you still remembering our talk at German Community Meeting. - Yes, we need it in Mongolian old script. These information was for me very useful for Mongolian old script, which uses top-to-down with left-to-right. I mean like in your example document "Page mongolianVert Table RTL.odt". I will test it later the full functionality of this settings and respond you back. - Yes, for the second question too. Because our Cyrillic script uses normal left-to-right with top-to-down. I think both scripts in one document combined are at the moment usual usage. - For other questions i need more tests to answer those. Best regards Bachka PS: I have at moment less time for testing (Mother in my House from Mongolia for 2 months, :D), sorry. but it has piqued my interest and motivates me to do more, ;).

What if I'm writing a document that includes text in an L-R language as well as text in an R-L language? (both horizontal). Maybe one included as a quote in the other? Mixing the horizontal LTR and RTL directions is no problem. There exists the bidi-algorithm of UNICODE, which specifies how to do that inside a paragraph and the writing-mode attribute of the paragraph to mix LTR and RTL paragraphs. LibreOffice follows the bidi-algorithm and has means to change direction of paragraphs. You might not have seen the options, because you need to enable "Complex text layout" in the language settings in the options. The problem for specification is, when the page text direction and the table direction are orthogonal to each other.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Actual bug report.
Hi Michael, I have ~104 "Fields" from a long google form. They look like this: Principle Investigator #1 Name: (Last, First) Principle Investigator #1 Title: Principle Investigator #1 Phone: Principle Investigator #1 Email: Mailing list membership for PI#1 [xxx Announce] Mailing list membership for PI#1 [xxx Alarm] Add another? Principle Investigator #2: Name: (Last, First) Principle Investigator #2: Title: You have imported tis fields to Base? HSQLDB will run, but field names in internal Firebird will end by 31 characters. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bi3ec5snrf2shht/MCT_Screenshot_20230410_084805_P2.png?dl=0 On this screen, I tried to resize the "Query Wizard" screen to be wider so that I can read the field names and I can't. So use the scrollbar at the bottom. It's shown in your screenshot.
