Comment text aligning right??
The text in the comments I'm adding to a document is aligning on the right
(i.e., my name is on the right and the comments are coming out to the left of that. This causes weird word order in long comments. So, for example, a comment looks like: This paragraph is :[KK]Comment The readers should know .extraneous .this |

Make sure that you haven't enabled a right-to-left language.

Comment text aligning right??
The only language enabled is U.S. English.
I've noted a bit more information. 1) If I open a comment and cut and paste text in, the comment aligns correctly. 2) The text of the comment aligns right but reads correctly when I click out of the comment, but only if I don't use punctuation. If I use the punctuation, that makes it start a new line, putting the text out of order. 3) Similarly, if I pause too long in my typing, the new text gets placed out of order (to the left of the earlier text). So it might read: .This is my 'm not sure why it comment I does this Instead of "This is my comment. I'm not sure why it does this" Thanks for your help.

Comment text aligning right??
From your description, it certainly seems as if the issue has something to
do with text direction and languages, but I have had no direct experience of right-to-left formatting so I can't really advise further on this. :-( FWIW, for general information on language formatting, see http://homepage.hispeed.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm. If the issue is only with a particular file, have you tried copying the whole document except for the final paragraph mark (¶) into a new file? To show/hide paragraph marks as well as other nonprinting marks, press Ctrl+Shift+8. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kristin" wrote in message ... The only language enabled is U.S. English.

Comment text aligning right??
I had tried pasting in a new document, but not omitting the final paragraph
symbol. Tried that, but it didn't help. You comment about it being sure it was language made me go back and look at that. If I select the text in the backwards comments, the language IS hebrew. The language for everything else in English. So you are right. Now, how do I turn that off? When I select the text in the comment and select English, it doesn't stick. Thanks for helping me get to the bottom of this!

Change the language of the Comment Text and Balloon Text styles. For
detailed instructions, tell me your version of Word. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kristin" wrote in message ...
