Subject: [PATCH] Import: a right-to-left paragraph of the editing data lays
 out right to left

The text document's paragraph key 33 (from the paragraph or the
document's defaults) said a paragraph runs right to left, but the reader
only used it to swap left and right alignment: the paragraph's direction
stayed unset, so it went by its first strong letter, and a label with no
Arabic or Hebrew letters (" 120.5 mm ") laid out left to right instead of
reading "mm 120.5". The paragraph style now gets that direction.
