Hi Danny,
I'm wondering whether you can elaborate (for debug purposes) on some of your experience.

2. For the time being, do NOT do a super-user install. Even if you runLANG-he_IL/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxoffice officesetup you will not get the Hebrew popup boxes and dialogues shown correctly.Like I said before - I cannot check that as I don't have crossover.4. If you test the installation by running LANG=he_IL ~/cxoffice/binmsword, MS Word will come up in Hebrew, with the menus on the wrong side and some of the dialogues in gibberish.
Gibberish - I'm interested in this one. Does the Gibberish look like latin accented characters, or like squares? If the later, this falls under bug #1157 (bugs.winehq.org).
The letters are Latin accented, NO squares.
Menus in the wrong side - added bug #1158. Thanks.
All of you - if you are having BiDi related problems with Wine, please create bugs in the Bugzilla system, and mark them as blocking bug #609 (BiDi implementation).
I'll look into it. Never done it before.
Nothing. Open Office (as supplied by SuSE crashes when you try to load a doc file. Someone on the list mentioned that he solved the problem by d/l'ing and rebuilding. No thank you! Not on a 56K modem that barely runs at half the speed. That by the way, is why I use a good quality commercial distro which allows a half annual update with just about *** everything *** on the DVD.Also, please vote on the bugs, so I can prioritize my work.6. When it's all over, rerun ~/cxoffice/bin/msword. It works perfectly, with English dialogues, but with Hebrew or English input as you wish. You will need to use the little nationality flag icon to switch between Hebrew and English keyboard input. (Alt Shift does not work.)
This is not supposed to work with Alt-Shift. Use whatever technique you use with X to switch keyboard layouts (ctrl-alt-k in KDE). Word is supposed to pick up on the change (it sometimes takes a little while, as one of the notification messages is not implemented yet).
8. Uninstall Star Office or Oppen Office or whatever!
What happened to the freedom of choice?
The cost in time and $ of downloading is prohibitive.
Star Office 5.2 is great as far as it goes (I used it for over a year), but it does not support Hebrew in any obvious way and it's treatment of simple things like doc file tables is atrocious.
Neither of these two items is ready for "prime time" if you have to exchange multilingual docs with Win users.
