Created attachment 123501 [details] This zip contains all of the files reffered to in the bug repport Editing a pptx file created in MS Office (01.pptx) using Libreoffice 5.1.1.2 on Linux Mint Cinnamon makes Hebrew text be recognized as English and brakes Hebrew text when the pptx is reopened in MS Office. In the attached 01.png, showing a screenshot of the original file opened in MS Office 2010 version 14.0.7166.5000 32bit, you can see that: 1. The boxed text is recognized as Hebrew. 2. The text is RTL and aligned to the right. In the attached 02.png the pptx file is opened in LO and you can see that: 1. LO recognizes the text as English, so every word is seen as a typo (If I right click a word I get the option "word is Hebrew" which makes LO recognize the word as Hebrew). 2. For some reason, although the text appears to be RTL and aligned to the right, the Paragraph settings indicate it's LTR and aligned to the left. * Another minor bug here: The fonts used in the original pptx are Times New Roman and Arial, both fonts I have installed on my Linux Mint system, yet LO assigned different fonts to the text... In the attached 03.png the pptx is reopened in MS Office 2010 version 14.0.7166.5000 32bit after being saved (without further changes) in LO, and you can see that: 1. The language of the text is recognized as English. 2. The text is RTL and aligned to the right. 3. As part of being recognized as English, the punctuation marks "stick to the left" as if they are in English and not to the right as they should in Hebrew. The pptx file that was saved in LO is attached as 02.pptx This bug makes editing Hebrew pptx files on LO impossible.
TESTING with Ubuntu 14.04 + LO 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ (2016-02-24_23:58:47) (In reply to eladhen2 from comment #0) > Editing a pptx file created in MS Office (01.pptx) using Libreoffice 5.1.1.2 > on Linux Mint Cinnamon makes Hebrew text be recognized as English and brakes > Hebrew text when the pptx is reopened in MS Office.

In this 5.2 daily build, both the left *and* right align buttons appear to be selected (see "PPTX left and right aligned" attachment). That seems to be buggy. Status -> NEW

Elad, can you please, using Powerpoint, replace the Hebrew text with Arabic text (e.g. use Google Translate), without changing any of the formatting, and see whether you get the same behavior?

(In reply to Mark Hung from comment #8) First of all - kudos for the fix :-) Second - based on your fix, it seems this bug is not Hebrew-specific, so re-hanging it on RTL-CTL. Finally, do you think this is likely to effect other outstanding RTL / MS Office-import-related bugs?
