Right-to-left (Hebrew) tables in English Word?
I have an RTF file that contains mostly Hebrew, so the \rtldoc tag is
specified early on ("This document will be formatted to have Arabic-style pagination") and then contains several tables which specify \taprtl ("Table direction is right to left") and \rtlrow ("Cells in this table row will have right-to-left precedence"). On my English Windows XP Pro system, I have enabled "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages" and installed Hebrew as an "Installed service" on the "Text Services and Input Languages" dialog. When I load the RTF file into my Word, the characters appear correctly in Hebrew, and the Hebrew text is correctly right-to-left, but the columns are not in the correct order (the column specified first in the RTF file, which should be the right-most column, is instead left-most). Am I expecting too much of my English version of Word? Is there just no way to have English Word properly display Hebrew RTF files? Thanks, Chris |

Try setting the Table Properties to RTL. Right-click on the table and choose
Table Properties. In the Table tab, near the bottom, should be a setting for RTL/LTR. If not, then you don't have Hebrew enabled in Office. Start-Programs-Microsoft Office-Microsoft Office Tools-Microsoft Office Language Settings. Verify Hebrew is enabled (should show up in the list on the right). Changing the setting will require a restart of Word. -- ----------------------------------------- This posting is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
