Hi Alan, While I was unable to find the file Common-ctl_he.xcu, I played a bit with OpenOffice settings, and I think that I found the cause:
The option Language Settings->Complex Text Layout->Sequence Checking->Use sequence Checking I removed this option only, opened any document and it did not reverse anything. I found out about this option, after I moved my old settings, and made OpenOffice to create a new set of settings, and after configuring the Hebrew support, I saw that this setting is not checked, and my files appear normal. Can You, Nadav and Michael, and everyone else on this list can confirm this ? On Tuesday 07 February 2006 17:19, Alan Yaniger wrote: > Hi Ido, > > Yes, you are correct, it also happens on 2.0.1.

Hardware has limitations, software doesn't. It's a real shame that Turing machines are so poor at I/O. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
