Description mudi26 2016-03-25 09:04:18 UTC 
When typing in hebrew I need to type in a "Right to Left" mode.
In MS Word this is simply done by clicking Ctrl+Shift. 
Unfortunately, in OO Writer 4.1.2 I can't do that or even find the Tools button.
frustrating...

All you need to know is in the help topics. The magic term is "Complex Text Layout" (CTL). Then you can see which needs to be enabled. Start with a search for "Hebrew" and you will come to CTL.

Or in short:
- Enable "Tools - Optins - Language Settings - Enabled for complex Text layout (CTL)"
- Use the two buttons in the Formatting toolbar
- Or press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[D] for right-to-left text direction
  and [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[A] for left-to-right

HTH
