Description sforbes 2003-04-08 11:48:11 UTC 
OO calc is missing a UI that lets the user control sheet directionality- only
cell directionaly.
This is importent in order to control cell order.

Microsoft Excel has an extra conrol that we do not have. See screen shot
comparing both.

Right-to-left layout of the spreadsheet cells will be added after the
1.1 release. Falko is currently specifying the user interface.

Please see spec here:

FT->NN: I cannot close this one as duplicate since the spec-related
issue is still one from the Trakker.

Notice how due to this bug, the attached excel opens with the order of items in
tables reversed.  

Very annoying

This is already implemented on the "calcrtl" child workspace (see
http://sc.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=151) and will be
in OOo 2.0. I should have updated the issue when writing that announcement.

Oliver, this is the same as Ibis 106948. The attached Excel file has
right-to-left mode set for the visible sheet and must be shown that way after
importing.
