hello.
thanks for your link.
but i confirm that i dont have this problem when i used microsoft office in
previous years.
how should i set libreoffice to support diacritics both in character count and
also when i navigate using right arrow keys?
i realy wish to use libreoffice, but i only have islamic books in word format
which i need writer, and i could not use libreoffice because of this problem in
these years!
i appreciate your help and God bless you.
