Things sort of work, even well enough for day to day use. Here's how:

1. Use the SuSE online update/patch utility to get the latest version of KDE
2. Install CXOffice Version 2.0 (Yeah, V 2.0!)
3. Install MS Office using LANG=heb_IL all the way. Intall the English Language pack, ensuring that dialog and help is set to English.
4. Backup the ~/cxoffice directory tree to some place else
5. Upgrade in place, CXOffice to 2.1


What exactly does not work if you install MS Office under 2.1?

1. The Hebrew dialogs are all backwards and they don't seem to respond properly (It's a while since I tried!)
2. The simulated reboot hangs forever.
3. And by the way, even with your little script, MS Word is slo-o-o-o-w. File selection takes forever, and sometimes I get fedup and use MS WORD on a Win98 client via Samba.


Dimitry's fixes:
6. Modify XF86config as follows:

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "Keyboard"
Identifier "Keyboard[0]"
Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
# Out!
# Option "XkbOptions" "grp:lwin_toggle"
# New line
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbVariant" "xfree86"
EndSection


Reboot or restart X to get this effective. (It's enough to log out, log in a commandline session as root, and do init 3, then init 5). If you don't the ctrl-shift combination to switch language, choose something else.

7. Create script files for each MS Office app which look like this (This one works for MS Word):

#/bin/sh
setxkbmap us,il
LANG=he_IL /home/danny/cxoffice/bin/wine --cx-app \
"C://Program Files//Microsoft Office//Office//WINWORD.EXE"
# The last two lines are entered as ONE line, without the \ continuation # character.


Since you have to explicitly set LANG and change keyboard layout there is
something wrong with your setup.

Really? That was your suggestion! (:-))
