Description: Some styles of text in DOCX files have their text direction set to Right-To-Left when User Interface language is set to Hebrew and to Left-To-Right when user interface language is set to English. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install libreoffice-l10n-he to make Hebrew User Interface Possible 2. set User Interface language to Hebrew in Tools>Options>Language>User Interface 3. open attached bugexample.docx file. Observe that the text direction of the heading styles is set to Right-To-Left and that the heading texts are aligned to the right. 4. Set user interface to English in Tools>Options>Language>User Interface 5. open attached bugexample.docx file. Observe that the text direction of the heading styles is set to Left-To-Right and that the text is aligned to the left. Actual Results: When opened in a Hebrew (and possibly other RTL languages) interface the Heading texts in this DOCX (and in many others, but not all) are aligned to the right and have their Text Direction set as Right-To-Left. When opened in an English interface the Heading texts in this DOCX (and in many others, but not all) are aligned to the left and have their Text Direction set as Left-To-Right. Expected Results: Text Direction and alignment should be independent of User Interface and dependent only on the file itself. This is still the case in Libreoffice 5.1 Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: System: Host: UX305FA Kernel: 4.4.0-157-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 5.4.0) Desktop: Cinnamon 3.6.7 (Gtk 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3) Distro: Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia Version: 6.2.5.2 Build ID: 1:6.2.5-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2;
Created attachment 152987 [details] the file exanplifying the bug
Opened the file with older versions through Appimages. in 6.1.5 and earlier it behaves as expected so the bug is since 6.2.0.

@Justin Luth, I thought you might be interested in this issue...
The root of the problem seems to be that the heading paragraph styles are inheriting from -none- instead of <w:style w:type="paragraph" w:styleId="1"> <w:name w:val="Heading 1"/> <w:basedOn w:val="Style14"/> <w:style w:type="paragraph" w:styleId="Style14"> <w:name w:val="שורת כותרת"/> <w:basedOn w:val="Normal"/>

It wasn't an RTL specific bug in the end. This should be a good over-all compatibility fix.
