I saw the message, and apologize for not reponding. The suggestion produced no result, and at about the same time I also discovered that the inability to write Hebrew and Russian was not limited to OOo alone. That was because I had not properly installed the needed keyboards, which has now been done. I had hoped at the time that the keyboard matter would also solve the CTL problem. > According to the help text, you change the text writing direction by pressing: > o Ctrl+Shift+D or Ctrl+Right Shift Key - switch to right-to-left text entry > o Ctrl+Shift+A or Ctrl+Left Shift Key - switch to left-to-right text entry These key combinations do indeed (and did before) switch the writing alignment from side to side, but do nothing about the characterset that appears -- they do not change the language. That, as I have said, is dependent only upon the setting of the language applet, and has nothing to do with CTL or other setting within OOo. > Alternatively, there are also Left-To-Right and Right-To-Left buttons > that appear on the Formatting toolbar when CTL is enabled. Whether CTL is enabled or not is a mystery. The "Enable CTL" checkbox is both greyed out and checked; I am not clear about what that is meant to tell me. > Is this not what you need?
