            Bug ID: 133816
           Summary: No (obvious) way to set a document's overall direction
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.3.0 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eyalroz at technion.ac.il

Description:
In LibreOffice Writer, paragraphs and some other elements  can have their
direction set to one of: RTL, LTR, or "Use superordinate object settings" (i.e.
inherited).

The "superordinate object" for paragraphs on a page of a (simple) document is
_not_ the page (which itself can have a direction LTR or RTL), but rather
something else - likely, the entire document. 

There LO writer UI, to my knowledge, does not offer a way of changing this
top-level direction. Specifically, it's not an option via File | Properties on
the menus, nor is it kept in sync with, say, the Default Page style.

There should be UI for changing this (or, alternatively, the document should
not _have_ a direction at all)

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A

Actual Results:
N/A

Expected Results:
N/A


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
I think LO has had this issue always, so I chose the earliest version on the
list.

Also, I feel this is probably a dupe, but I couldn't find it reported.
