Arabic writing in OpenOffice

#1 Post by hohenheim »

Hi, I'm writing some text in Arabic and I'm using Right alignment as a workaround but when I needed to use numbered lists, well the numbers are on the wrong side (Left instead of Right) even after setting the position to Right in 'Bullets and numbering' settings.
Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance

Are you sure it is OpenOffice? Debian has LibreOffice by default.

If it is OpenOffice have you tried the OpenOffice Forum? https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/

When you say
I'm writing some text in Arabic
do you mean that you are writing a whole document in Arabic, or are you writing a document in another language with only "some" in Arabic?

I don't think this is a "Debian" only question.
