Office word 2010 does not copy and paste Hebrew correctly

Question
-
I had noticed many problems in Word 2007 so I was looking forward to see if they are repaired in Word 2010
The first thing I notice is that when you mark text to copy, and then paste, the pasted value is not what was marked, but what would have been marked if the paste selection had selected in the right direction
so abcdefg is the text in hebrew. select defg and abcd gets selected and pasted - try it - it's easy to duplicate
In earlier versions the letters were also reverse in direction and so the paste was completely useless - this appears not to have happened. The Blogger editor gets this problem right. So it is not insoluable.

I did have a little play with this and I agree that Word screws up, andcould, and should, do better. Even with "automatically detect language" itstill doesn't seem able to get it right. As I intimated in my first reply,Word seems to have things correct internally and what you see - and interactwith - is a false representation in the UI.I will endeavour to make Microsoft aware of this, although they seem to bemaking an effort to close communication channels.

Word does seem to get confused when you type in the wrong direction, doesn'tit (it is actually the original selection that is wrongly shown, ratherthan the copy or paste)? What do you think should happen when you typeabcdefghj 'in Hebrew'?--Enjoy,Tonywww.WordArticles.com"Bob MacDonald Victoria" wrote in messagenews:d38abe4d-bd53-4b18-bfee-e92633ad4df5...>I had noticed many problems in Word 2007 so I was looking forward to see if>they are repaired in Word 2010>> The first thing I notice is that when you mark text to copy, and then> paste, the pasted value is not what was marked, but what would have been> marked if the paste selection had selected in the right direction>> so abcdefg is the text in hebrew. select defg and abcd gets selected and> pasted - try it - it's easy to duplicate>> In earlier versions the letters were also reverse in direction and so the> paste was completely useless - this appears not to have happened.

I rarely type in Hebrew but I am often pasting in text so that both right to left and left to right are operational on the same page. The Blogger editor has all kinds of boundary condition problems but I can usually fight my way around them. It never messes up the actual sequence of the letters or words. (Though it has been know to lose entire posts)
When following a rtl and ltr text, the blogger cursor behaves brilliantly just skipping about from right to left like lambkin on the hillside - Word is a very big cousin and should watch its little relative and imitate it.

Does this issue occur in safe mode?
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to Microsoft Office.
2. Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click Microsoft Word.
