So it is study time and I have a new computer. This one doesn't have Microsoft Office on it, but instead has the open source package OppenOffice.org. This would be the third or so time I've tried conforming to using OO instead of MS Office. It's not easy.
This time, however, I downloaded a word doc of experimental terminology from the internet, and when I realized it was aligned to the right but the text flow of LTR, I took the time to defeat the monster consult sources and figure out where the necessary language feature is so cunningly hidden. Victory!
Apparently Hebrew uses "Complex Text Layout (CTL)". Piffle.
