I’m using OOo 1.1.1 on Win XP, set for Ivrit. I created a very long document (42 pages) with Ivrit and English interspersed (it’s a translation of the Talmud Yerushalmi).

 

When I had to send it out to my client, I SAVEd as a MS Word DOC file, but I found that the new file totally threw out the Ivrit, and wherever there was a Hebrew letter, it now had a question mark. Thus I got things like ????? ???? ????????.

 

I found that if I save as RTF, MOST of it comes through, but it messes up things like single quote marks, so that something that would read

‘DCBA  

comes through as

DCBA’

 

Also, when I put the Talmudic page number in as – read this from right to left:

Bet“Ayin <space> Zayin Yod

i.e., Yod Zayin Amud Bet

it came through as

Ayin <space> Yod Zayin”Bet

In other words, the (B”) part was shifted from the right side to the left side.

 

Any suggestions how I can take the OO file (which is still intact) and save it so that it can come through unharmed as a MS Word file?

 

Many thanks,

 

Shmuel
