RtL-space?
In MS-Word and OpenOffice I can only change whole
paragraphs to RtL-entry. But quoting just a few
words in hebrew WITHIN a paragraph would be helpful to
many.

presentation forms insert themselves in LtR-fashion?
Why this difference?
I read about Logical and Visual entry, but don't see
how that answers my 2 questions above.
If you're going to quote an rtl phrase in an ltr context,
you want to use an embedding. In plaintext, this would
mean putting an RLE (U+202B) character before the phrase
and a PDF (U+202C)after it. (In HTML, you'd enclose the
text in an element and set its 'dir' attribute to 'rtl'.)
I don't know how to access those characters from the
word processor menus, though.
