Changing directionality of Gnumeric cells
I see how to change the directionality of a Gnumeric spreadsheet, but how does one change the directionality of individual cells? Thanks. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: Changing directionality of Gnumeric cells
The directionality of the cells seem to be determined by the first strong BiDi character. If that is not what you want, e.g. if you want to write in a cell dov: שלום i.e. MOLASH :dov (if your rendering messes it up) then you'll have to insert a RLM as the first character in the input, that you can do by right clicking and choosing "Insert Unicode Control Character" (a menu that I contributed quite a number of years back).

I use the Lyx keyboard so I have RLM and LRM right there on the keys! -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
