Not much of a change...

You can use the partial bidi enabled open office, which, to tell the truth, 
the best alternative you can find. There is a small company which is working 
on fully enabled bidi to open office. Will we see those changes be rolled 
back to open office or will be seen in star office 6.1? don't know..

It have the hebrew enabled in QT, and it reads .DOC documents, but the tables 
and fonts are not importing well.

Then use Open Office.
