Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.3) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs OS: Linux I use kword in Hebrew (righ to left language) I save my files as .rtf (so they can be shared) the other users (even me in WINDOW$) read them with no problem BUT! when I try to open the file I created with KWORD in RTF format I get it reversed: a text like "CBA" (in Hebrew, of course) becomes "ABC"
Thank you for your bug report! Could you please try to find out (with the help of MS Word) if the problems are more at export to RTF or at import from RTF (or perhaps even both.) KWord's RTF export filter is being rewritten for KOffice 1.3, but I suppose that the problem would not be fixed just by having a new filter. As far as I know, no KWord filter developers can write right-to-left languages, so we need the help of people able to do so. Have a nice day/evening/night!
I think the problem is in the import process because reading the exported files in M$-WORD or OpenOffice is going well... I'll try tonight to read with KWORD RTF files created by M$-WORD and OpenOffice too.
very strange: Importing files created by M$-WORD, OO and ABIword is OK Importing files created by KWORD is reverse. BUT!! Reading files created by KWORD in M$-WORD is OK too so, is it the import or the export or what ? I can't figure out.... looks like that the import and the export are not consistent. can it be something to do with encoding ?
Subject: Re: RTF import filter in Hebrew Then in this case, I suppose that it is something missing at export that the import cannot fix. (Later..) Good, I think I have the bug. At export, the RTL mark is wrongly written as \rtrmark. Can you please try to replace \rtrmark in an editor by \rtlmark and check if it would work? Have a nice day/evening/night!

what ???? can you translate it into something humans can understand ? do you want me to do something?
Subject: Re: RTF import filter in Hebrew If you mean the cvs commit (the email with CCMAIL in it), it is just for tracking the changes in KDE Bugs. What I had asked you in the previous message (perhaps you got it later), was to use an editor (for example Kate) to replace \rtrmark by \rtlmark in a RTF file exported from KWord and see if it would fix the problem. (It is a problem, but perhaps not the only one.) Have a nice day/evening/night!

please forgive me, but I'm old and stupid can you explain your suggestion ? I don't have a file called rtlmark what file should I edit ? what exactly do I have to replace there ? thanks
Subject: Re: RTF import filter in Hebrew You should edit a RTF file generated by KWord and replace each occurence of \rtrmark by \rtlmark (if there is not any, then we have another problem.) RTF files are text files, so you cn load them in an editor (like Kate), do the replacement and save it back. Then you can check if the modified file loads correctly in KWord or not. If it would not work, then there would be an additional bug somewhere else. (As you have not compiled KOffice yourself, you cannot change the behaviour of KOffice itself.)

Created attachment 692 [details] a sample of rtf file created by kword with Hebrew sorry for the delay, but no \rtrmark in the file.... what now?
Subject: Re: RTF import filter in Hebrew I have loaded your file into the developement version of KWord and obtained the attached file. Is it in the right direction or not? I got the same result in KWord 1.2, except the known bug that at import the character following a Unicode character is eaten (this bug has been fixed for KWord 1.2.1.) Have a nice day/evening/night!

Created an attachment (id=693) test.png
yes, it looks OK in your JPG file
interestingly, with kword 1.21 there is no problem with the Hebrew (I found another problem and reported it)
If it works with KWord 1.2.1, then it was probably a bug in KWord itself. So I am changing the status of the bug to "works for me". Have a nice day/evening/night!
