MS Word Version 14.0.7116.5000 (32bit)

I had mixed results trying to duplicate this bug.  I could not replicate the
bug for either Word 97-2003 documents (.doc) OR Word 2010 documents (.docx)
with my normal language settings: UI: Default English (USA)/Locale setting:
English(USA)/Default Currency: USD $ English USA/Default Languages for
documents: English (USA)/CTL: [None].  

However, if I changed the language settings to the following, I could partially
duplicate the issue with a Word 2010 file (.docx).  Changed settings:  UI:
Default English (USA)/Locale setting: Hebrew/Default Currency: ILS
Hebrew/Default Languages for documents: English (USA)/CTL: [None].  With those
Language settings, a Word 97-2003 document (.doc) showed the correct Left
Alignment .  The Word 2010 document (.docx) incorrectly showed a Right
Alignment.

downloaded the user attachment 83402 and saved it as both a Word97-2003 and a
Word 2010 document.  When I got the above results, I then downloaded a 75KB
User’s Guide from the website {
http://www.latrobe.edu.au/psy/research/cognitive-and-developmental-psychology/esci}
and saved it again in the two formats specified above, getting the same results
as I did with the attachment when I opened them in Writer.
Steps:
Steps:
1 - Open Writer
2 – Go to Tools >> Language >> For all Text >> More
3 – Change settings in Dialogue box: UI: Default English (USA)/Locale setting:
English(USA)/Default Currency: USD $ English USA/Default Languages for
documents: English (USA)/CTL: [None].  
4 – Open User Attachment 83402 and save as TWO documents (WORD 97-2003 (.doc)
AND Word 2010 (.docx)
5 – Open each document in Writer with same Default – English (USA) Settings
RESULT:  Documents will be correctly Left Aligned

6 - Open Writer
7 – Go to Tools >> Language >> For all Text >> More
8 – Change settings in Dialogue box to (2): UI: Default English (USA)/Locale
setting: Hebrew/Default Currency: ILS Hebrew/Default Languages for documents:
English (USA)/CTL: [None].  
9 – Open each document in Writer with same Locale setting: Hebrew settings
RESULT:  Word 97-2003 Document (.doc)  will be correctly Left Aligned.  Word
2010 Document (.docx) will be Incorrectly Right Aligned.
Recommend follow-up tests changing other Locale settings using countries with
Right to Left reading conventions to see if these results hold true.
