Ilia I am sorry to inform you that the code that kword uses is not exactly 
qt's code. They have copied and pasted qt's code and changed it a little bit. 

Anyway you _can_ set the direction with the keyboard as normal, and it is been 
saved. I have used it quite a while, and I found no /real/ problems with it, 
just that after setting the firest direction by hand the auto direction 
(which is inherited from qt's code) is not done any more and all the text will 
have the default dir you have chosen.

Another issue are the bullets and lists. When you make a list/bullet which 
should be LTR to the right, and you RTL it it gets messed up. The opposite is 
true as well. 

I cant confirm this is the state in the final version but it was the state 5 
days before the final was distributed. I don't know what is happening now 
since I am having problems with my pc (I could post it here I have a quite 
interesting dma errors).

Hopefully, an article I have written about this subject will be put in 
penguin.org in the weekend. I just need to spell it a lot...
