Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Right-to-Left ODF documents created in Open Office 3.1 display with wrong directionality in Kword 2.1 beta. It appears that Kword automatically determines paragraph directionality. In contrast, Open Office relies on the user to set directionality. I have created three test documents and come to these conclusions: 1) Documents created in Kword (Kword has no option for the user to set directionality) - Kword correctly sets directionality for RTL text written in Kword. - Open Office displays RTL text written in Kword as LTR. I cannot comment if this is correct or not as I do not know if Kword is setting the RTL marker in the file or relying on it's own automatic setting should the document be opened in Kword. 2) Documents created in OOo with directionality set to RTL - Kword incorrectly sets directionality to LTR for RTL text written in Open Office that is marked as RTL. 3) Documents created in OOo with directionality set to LTR - Kword incorrectly sets directionality to RTL for RTL text written in Open Office that is marked as LTR.
Created attachment 37073 [details] Document with RTL text created in Kword
Created attachment 37074 [details] Document with RTL text created in OOo, with the text set as LTR
Created attachment 37075 [details] Document with RTL text created in OOo, with the text set as RTL
Created attachment 37080 [details] Document with RTL text created in MS Office 2007, with the text set as RTL This is a .docx MSO2007 file with the RTL text set as RTL. I have not tested it in Kword yet as this is a university windows computer, but I am attaching it to the bug so that I could test it later. Note that the version of MS Office on this machine does not support ODF, so I could not test the Kword-generated file here.
Created attachment 37081 [details] Document with RTL text created in MS Office 2007, with the text set as LTR Same as above, but with RTL text set to LTR.
