Hello Baruch, I am sorry that I did not answer sooner, I only now went through this month's mailing list messages (I am just an OO user like you). On Ubuntu Linux I can simply switch to Hebrew keyboard layout and start typing in Open Ofice with no problems. When I type in Hebrew I prefer to configure Right-To-Left Text direction, that is done with an Icon that looks like a big P with an arrow. I don't actually have any icons, but for the default setup that is how it should look. What OS are you using? What happens when you start typing in Hebrew in a regular OOo window? Do you have a Hebrew keyboard enabled? If you cannot find the RTL and LTR icons then email me (not the list) a screenshot of your OOo screen and I will circle and send back to you the screenshot.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
