I see that I spoke too soon. I can enter Hebrew text, but mixed Hebrew and English is screwy ! Darn - I really need a solution for this. I was going to use vmware to access my XP partition and run MS word under XP under vmware under Linux, but my disks are SCSI, and as far as I can tell vmware doesn't support raw SCSI disks. Just to be clear - what I need is a way to edit MS mixed English and Hebrew word documents which will be read by Windows users. At the monent the only way I can do that is by booting into XP ;-( Any ideas will be greatly appreciated !
