   I couldn't find a direct way to input Arabic digits into OO Calc,
the normal use of Alt+number didn't work in Calc although it did in
WordPad where Alt+1632 is ٠ and so on.

   OO Calc does have settings in the Complex Text Layout section for
choosing different numerals but I don't understand the interaction of
choices here.
