This is hard to explain so bear with me.
I'm a new user to openoffice.
I just tried pasting a simple table i copy paste from the internet, i'll try to
mimic how it looks here:

Monday----Sunday----Time
ClassB----ClassA----08-09
ClassB----ClassA----09-10
ClassB----ClassC----10-11

The --- represent spaces.
The table was in hebrew (which is an RTL language) and thats why it starts from
the right side.

Anyway i opened Calc.
If i just paste it while calc is in the Default LTR mode then the table get
pasted just as it is (again, i'm trying to show how it looked like in Calc):

-------A---------B---------C--
-01--Monday----Sunday----Time-
-02--ClassB----ClassA----08-09
-03--ClassB----ClassA----09-10
-04--ClassB----ClassC----10-11

However i want to use an RTL sheet when i work in Hebrew, so i deleted
everything and found how to change the sheet to RTL (that was easy enough).
Then when i tried pasting the table the result was as follows:

-C--------B---------A---------
Time----Sunday----Monday--01--
08-09---ClassA----ClassB--02--
09-10---ClassA----ClassB--03--
10-11---ClassC----ClassB--04--

This is the expected behavior IF i would change the sheet when the data was
already there, but if i first change the sheet to RTL and then paste, i cannot
understand why the data is getting flipped?!?
If someone pastes something into an RTL sheet it is, 90% of the time, will be
from an RTL source - meaning there is no reason to flip the information!

I know that when you look at the last sheet i just made it seems weird it would
be an annoying thing, but having the data arrange like that in Hebrew looks as
weird to me as the first table i made (in the beginning of my bug report) looks
funny to you because it's in english.
