You must install the second CD as I indicated, to make the think work right. From that point you can type,Hi, guys. I've been working toward getting CrossOver Office installed with Hebrew, and it just about works. I'm not sure whether the last few problems I'm having have to do with CrossOver Office, Red Hat 8.0, or the version of Word I'm using.I'm installing Microsoft Office 2000 on Red Hat 8.0. Mine comes with a standard (English-language) CD, plus a second CD labeled "Hebrew Language Pack." - Setting LANG=he_IL was a really important step. Thanks, Hetz, for suggesting it! - Installing in my own home directory, and not as root, was also crucial. Thanks, Daniel, for pointing that out! - I installed CrossOver Office with $ export LANG=he_IL $ sh install-crossover-office-1.3.1.sh I accepted all of the defaults. I exited. - I then took Daniel's advice and installed Office separately, setting LANG locally just to be sure: $ LANG=he_IL ~/cxoffice/bin/officesetup Once again, I accepted all of the defaults. - Now I started up Word, setting LANG locally again just to be sure: $ LANG=he_IL ~/cxoffice/bin/winword The good news is that Word has the Hebrew/English paragraph buttons, and I can type in Hebrew without any trouble at all. The bad news is that typing in English works in a very funny way. If I try to type This is a sentence then I get a space between "T" and "his". Furthermore, when I type in English, the cursor remains just after the capital letter that I typed (in this case, the "T"), rather than showing me where the next character will be inserted. In other words, my experience so far indicates that CrossOver Office works great in Hebrew (if installed with LANG=he_IL) and great in English (if installed with LANG=en_US), but not so great if you want both languages. Do you have any further suggestions? Am I missing something?
~/cxoffice/bin/msword or whatever without the LANG thing.
