[ubuntu-in] Typing Hindi -2 Unresolved issues (some MORE solutions)

[Ramnarayan.K]

Ok one more solution and i think open office is out of the picture till we
can figure out a solution

Unicode hindi works well in gnumeric

so if anyone is having problems using hindi unicode in open office

use abiword for documents
and gnumeric for spredsheets

ram
