Does anyone who creates Personal books do so under any Linux variant, and if so which office suite do you use for it?
I know the compile and viewing has do be done under windows, but am only looking at creation at this point
Shalom DominicM!
I have Ubuntu Linux (16.04) installed on my spare computer. Ubuntu comes with LibreOffice which I also use on my main computer (Windows 10).
When the PB is finished I save it as an .docx file. Otherwise I always use the OpenDocument Text (.odt) file format.
The only real issue I have encountered is that I have not been able to succesfully create an (all) hebrew personal book. Everything looks fine in LibreOffice but when I try to compile the PB in Logos the hebrew text is in the wrong order. It has been some time however since I last tried to do so and I also don't know how well this works with other office suites. I have not had any troubles creating personal books in western European languages.
Maybe, the solution I found a year ago may help in this issue. I quote from the forum entry:
Word turns Hebrew in the first step from left to right . Save this Docx file back to PDF. Then convert this file back into Docx . Voila , Hebrew is then from right to left . I hope, you have a good Sunday. Greetings from Cologne, Hermann

Thanks Henrik, I have no Hebrew, so will be OK I think
