The relevant bug report is
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=86811 and it has
attached MS-Word document illustrating the problem and good&bad
screenshots.
There is a discussion also in
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4233&p=19580&hilit=hebrew

The problem occurs when importing MS-Word documents into OOWriter,
probably not relevant to the current changes in AbiWord - but it would
be nice to add a test to ensure that AbiWord never has such a problem.
