I am using OpenOffice v2.04 for Linux, and am very new with it.
Most of what I want to use it for will be in English, but occasionally I need
to write a document in Hebrew; I have Hebrew set up as the CTL language. I am
using the fonts that came with openSuSE v10.2; i am assuming that these are
Unicode fonts, and that they support a Hebrew character set, but I have no real
basis for believing this. "Enabled for complex text layout" is checked, but is
greyed out, which looks suspicious to me.
In Tools > Options > LanguageSettings > Languages I see no way to toggle
explicitly between Western and CTL languages. Simply setting alignment to the
Right margin does not switch to CTL, but I didn't really expect it to do so.
What have I overlooked? Or what have the writers of the documentation failed to
make sufficiently explicit to penetrate my consciousness?
Hi Stan. I've looked into this a little. In the regular OpenOffice.org
2.2.1 release the CTL checkbox is working (ie not greyed out) and I can
select a language for CTL.
I am guessing you are using the Novell build of OpenOffice.org that came
with openSUSE 10.2. Have you asked this question on the openSUSE
mailing list yet?
You could try adding in the OpenOffice.org repositories and installing
the latest Novell build (which will bring you up to 2.2.1).

This may fix your problem.
