I have used Hindi with spell checker and autocomplete features. With unicode format + export to HTML/pdf - OpenOffice Writer is one of best editors for Hindi.</p> <p>Today I tried OpenOffice 3.0 for Hindi typing. Hindi support looks missing/broken.<br /> <a href="http://hi.openoffice.org" rel="nofollow">http://hi.openoffice.org</a> looks inactive with last activity in 2007.</p> <p>Anybody got updates on these. </p> http://forum.ubuntu-in.info/topic/hindi-in-ubuntuopenoffice#post-39 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 23:41:08 +0000 sureshkrshukla 39@http://forum.ubuntu-in.info/ <p>To improve your Hindi typing experience, use a Devanagari keyboard.<br /> Read my blog for details : <a href="http://anektameekta.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://anektameekta.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>Regarding your problem. I have faced same problem with iLeap.</p> <p>I haven't solved it completely but I will share my steps:<br /> Export/save from iLeap and save as RTF format. I tried HTML but RTF is the best one to preserve formatting etc.<br /> This permits you to atleast see the doc in any RTF doc program.</p> <p>iLeap stores the Hindi data in some custom format with TTY-Yogesh. So this RTF would require to be converted to Unicode format before OpenOffice can edit it.</p> <p>Try the converters kept here:<br /> <a href="http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE:%E0%A4%87%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%9F%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%9F_%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%B0_%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%80_%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%87_%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A7%E0%A4%A8" rel="nofollow">http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE:%E0%A4%87%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%9F%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%9F_%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%B0_%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%80_%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%87_%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A7%E0%A4%A8</a></p> <p>I found the above wiki page yesterday.

However, if this is the only reason that is preventing your &quot;smooth migration&quot;, then you should stay with Windows, or install Ubuntu alongside if you want a taste of it.</p> <p>You can also visit: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Enabling_complex_text_support_for_Indic_scripts#GNOME" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Enabling_complex_text_support_for_Indic_scripts#GNOME</a> </p> http://forum.ubuntu-in.info/topic/hindi-in-ubuntuopenoffice#post-34 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 16:32:40 +0000 dhanraj 34@http://forum.ubuntu-in.info/ <p>I recently installed Ubuntu and is working fine.
