Word 2007 / Displayed Math Text Direction Printing Bug

Tom Alsberg

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this sort of questions, but...

I noticed this simple issue, which appears to be a bug to me, as I
reproduced it on several computers ‎and installations of Word 2007‎. I
wonder if anybody else experiences that too? Is it a known bug? Or
else, any idea what's going wrong to me?

Attached is a short Word 2007 document (.docx) demonstrating the
following problem:

When entering displayed equations (using Word 2007’s built in math
entry, I.E. Alt+=) alone in a line ‎‎(not surrounded byany text),
equations in paragraphs with right-to-left directionality (switched
using ‎Ctrl+Shift) simply do not appear in the printed or PDF/XPS
exported output. Inline equations ‎‎(surrounded by text) do not produce
that problem.‎

The simple workaround is to change the directionality of all display
equation paragraphs to left-to-‎right. Since there is no text around
display equations, that will only have any other side effects in ‎terms
of paragraph spacing.‎

Any ideas?
