Problems with OO's RTF import of text boxes is a known bug: see http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=95665 This is part of a general problem with OOo's import of RTF drawing objects, and not restricted to Hebrew. Alan Ehud Karni wrote: On Fri, 10 Jul 2009 09:38:45 Micha

True, and yet, nevertheless, lots of travel agents use some software for creating these heshboniot in rtf format that are unreadable except in MS Office. Take it up with your office suite. The RTF specs are all online:

You can always use wine and install MS Word viewer, I think it supports hebrew and opens RTF files without any problem. If you have CrossOver, it's just a click to select it, then it will auto download and install it for you. If you do this let us know how it turns out. The last I tried,
