Stephan, I would stay away from right-to-left languages unless you really
need this function. Last year somehow this function was activated on my
system and it caused me no end of grief with side-affects and a rebuild was
required to extract all traces of affected functions. So unless the OP needs
these languages, I would not recommend this to anyone ;-)

Hope this helps

You would have to use fixed line spacing for all text, and any spacing
before or after would have to be an integer multiple of the line spacing

Another possibility might be enabling a right-to-left language, but I
haven't tried that. Assuming that it actually works, there may be
side-effects that, again, make it not worth the effort.

Thanks very much for your reply! Is that really the only way? I can see
problems with spacing--the document has numerous levels of headings, so
the
spacing for the text after a heading would not necessarily match up with
the
lines of a vertical text box that has evenly spaced numbers in a column.
The
document is large, so hand-tailoring each page would not be an option for
us.
We can ask the client how people have done it before (or IF they have done
it before), but I was hoping we could figure it out on our own if
possible...
