RTL or Right to left languages are commonly known as Arabic script languages but in fact there are few other languages too which are written in right to left order e.g Hebrew.
Like any other office suite OpenOffice too support RTL languages but one need to configure it to support proper direction for RTL languages. Its easy to do this:
1. Open OpenOffice Writer(or any other OpenOffice application).
2. Click Tools > Options.
3. Navigate to Language Settings > Languages and check Enable for complex text layout(CTL), press OK. We are done.
