Write a script that sets the local then opens the app.

#!/bin/bash
LC_ALL=he_IL.UTF-8 ~/cxoffice/bin/winword
wine /path/to/word

Are you implying that you have MS Word working with full Hebrew
document support (I don't care about interface language) in Crossover?
Which version of Crossover, with which version of MS Office? Have you
verified that Hebrew displays RTL and that you can type in Hebrew?
This has been a problem for as long as I remember, and the last
Crossover that I tried (v5) did not have full Hebrew document support.
