printing envelopes sith left side justification
I have windows XP Hebrew enabled which was switched to English enabled using
Language Pak. When I open "word", the cursor is on the left; no problem. When I open "envelopes and labels", the cursor is on the right. I switch this to the left using Shift/Ctrl. However, when I print out an envelope, even thought the address appears on the screen with left side justification, it prints out with right side justification. How can I fix this problem and is there anyway to congigure so that when the "envelope" box pops up that the cursor appears on the left side? -- fran |

printing envelopes sith left side justification
I'm not sure the following will help, but...
I cannot quite replicate this problem here, although I have tried the reverse of what you are doing. however, the difference may be that I am not using Multilingual Windows, only ordinary Windows XP with Multilingual Office 2003. I see much the same as you do (except in reverse) but as long as my text is right-justifed (i.e. the same as yours, except in reverse) on the envelope then it prints OK. Some thoughts: a. What happens in your case if you use print preview? b. Do you have the Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) printer installed? What happens if you print to that? is the justification left or right? What happens when you print from MODI? (Or if you have the full pay-for version of Acrobat, you might be able to use that) there anyway to congigure so that when the "envelope" box pops up that the cursor appears on the left side? I don't know, sorry. It does the same here (only in reverse). You might be better off asking that (and the other question) in another group, perhaps microsoft.public.word.international.features or one of the more hebrew-related groups Peter Jamieson "fran" wrote in message ...

printing envelopes sith left side justification
Thanks for trying to help. I don't have MODI installed on my computer. There
is nothing in print preview that helps. Alos do not have pay-for version of Acrobat. I tried your last suggestion, but so far, no luck. -- fran "Peter Jamieson" wrote: I'm not sure the following will help, but...

printing envelopes sith left side justification
Do you have the text direction icons ("Left to right paragraph" and "Right
to left paragraph") on your formatting toolbar (i.e. the toolbar with the B I U buttons, paragraph layour buttons and so on)? They are the buttons that look like a small paragraph mark with a small blue arrow pointing left or right? I think they would be there by default on a system with a Hebrew interface but you may not see them when the English language pack is enabled. If you don't see them, you can go into Tools|Customize|Commands, select category All Commands (in the column on the left) then locate "ltrPara" in the list of commands on the right, and drag it to your formatting toolbar. Then do the same for rtlPara. The commands are in alphabetical order in the list. Then select the paragraph that is causing trouble and try changing the text direction, and the paragraph alignment as necessary, and see if that makes a difference. I don't see why it would, but it's the only other thing I can think of except the following possible nasty workaround: Select the text Edit|copy Edit|paste special Select one of the picture formats and insert the picture Resize the picture to make the text the correct size Print that.
