But I'll be glad to be proven wrong. (It might be that a specific grader at your university accepts documents at ".odt" format, but in general the university does not support this format, as opposed to ".doc" format which is "officially" supported).</div>

Another option is to print it to PDF, but it's rather clumsy, because the reviewer cannot edit directly your document.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/7/5 Ori Idan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ori@helicontech.co.il">ori@helicontech.co.il</a>></span><br>

If you write it in OpenOffice even if it does not look the best, people may help you.<br>

Hey Nadav<br>
When i started i tried to work with open office in Hebrew, but i<br>

trying to fix things, indentation, merging pictures and so on.<br>

track changes.<br>
