How to write complex text in OpenOffice 2.3?

Asked by Bipin Thite

Hi there!
I'm using Ubuntu 7.10. I want to write documents in Hindi language. So I've install Hindi language support for OpenOffice 2.3 and also fonts. I think OO supports complex text writing in Hindi. So would you please tell me how to write documents in Hindi?
Thank you!!!

I've activated "Enabled for complex text layout (CTL)" option from Tools > Options > Language Settings - Languages.
And also have selected Hindi as a default CTL language.
