Email who? The guys who make the website? They're not likely to care, having designed and put up such horror. University officials? Do you know anyone specific who might care and have the power to do something about it? >>2. Is there an alternative I can offer?

There's not much to design. All you need is plain simple, static HTML... There are no forms to submit, no elaborate menus, just plain information. At most, a table is required to display class schedule. What do the other questions depend on? I'm just not sure at all whether it's possible to write an HTML page with Hebrew and have it show up properly (not reversed) on all browsers... I'm not an HTML guru, I just know the basic stuff and would need to look up the spec to write a table :-) I'm also not aware of a file format which handles Hebrew *and* English properly (for pure Hebrew, you could use plain text)... Is there such a thing? >>4. What options do I personally have?

Also try to ask them >if they got HTML versions.. Like I said, it doesn't display properly in OpenOffice or AbiWord. Is koffice worth trying at this point? Would StarOffice (which I don't own) be any different from OpenOffice on this issue? Alexander Maryanovsky.
