Consider a multi-column ToC. Do its columns go from left to right or from right to left? Writer does not have UI to choose between those options; but that's bug 148305. Now, Mike Kasanagi has claimed on IRC that: > although it's not possible to define RtL for ToC manually, it does follow the page style's RtL setting however, that's not always the case. I'll soon attach a document where changing the direct in the page style does not affect the ToC.
Created attachment 179253 [details] A document exhibiting the bug This document was originally imported from MS-Word; but almsot all content has been removed, including the original Toc. Anyway, if you switch the first paragraph back and forth between LTR and RTL.

Change text direction in page style > > Eyal, do you get the same result? => NEEDINFO That works for me as well, but - in the original document, changing the page direction doesn't change the ToC direction. So, I'll limit the scope of the bug and reopen. Seeing this still with: Version: 7.4.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 40(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.0; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US Debian package version: 1:7.4.3-2
Yes, but PS in index entries are defined RTL, so I won't expect a change here.
In a new document PS Contents 1 and Contents 2 have text direction "Use superordinate object settings". So, if you change page direction to LTR, direction of paragraphs also changes. In original document PS Contents 1 and Contents 2 have text direction RTL. So it's expected, that text direction doesn't change, if you change it in page style. If you change text direction of PS to "Use superordinate object settings" and change text direction of page style I would expect, that text direction of paragraphs should change also, but it doesn't. But this might be document specific as the copy and paste example shows. So for me question is: Is it possible for you to reproduce bug from scratch? => NEEDINFO
(In reply to Dieter from comment #7) > In a new document PS Contents 1 and Contents 2 have text direction "Use > superordinate object settings". So, if you change page direction to LTR, > direction of paragraphs also changes. This bug is not about the direction of paragraphs in the ToC, it's about the order of columns within the ToC. I think I made this clear in the subject and the description. Also, I do not know how to reproduce this, particularly not from scratch - but I reported this bug explicitly about documents imported from MS-Word.

Anyway, if you switch the > first paragraph back and forth between LTR and RTL. Do you mean חלק ראשון What will happen when I switch? I don't see anything happening. I confirm that the column order is from item 2 in top left to 7 in bottom right. Is this the badness? Would be good to have a DOCX to check with MSO.

(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #9) > Do you mean חלק ראשון > What will happen when I switch? I don't see anything happening. Actually, nothing, I had a sentence fragment at the end of the comment and I forget whether I meant to complete it or delete it. Sorry, Ilmari. > I confirm that the column order is from item 2 in top left to 7 in bottom > right. Is this the badness? Would be good to have a DOCX to check with MSO. You mean, page 2 in the top left to page 7 in the bottom right. Yes, that's the badness. The _right_ column should start with the lowest page number, page 2, at its top (but on the left side of the column); the _left_ column should be the second one, ending with the item with page 7 (on the left side of the left column).
