Do you have Right-to-Left support enabled? If so, there's probably a toolbar
button for RTL switching.

The left and right directional arrow keys have suddenly reversed the
direction in which they make the cursor move. This is only in Word. I was
working on a document and may have inadvertantly triggered some keyboard
code
that made the change. How do I reset this?
