How do I keep my type going left to right across the page?
I am typing a letter in Word 2002 on a new Vista computer. For no obvious
reason, my typing reverted to the beginning of the line instead of to the right of the previous letters and the space bar and arrows operated in the opposite direction than they should. The right arrow moved left and the left arrow moved right. |

It seems to think you're in Hebrew or Arabic -- did you recently open
a document from someone over there? It might not be the same in 2002, but in 2003 when you have an R-to-L document open, a pair of buttons appears in the toolbar for changing direction.

Yes, that is exactly what it is. This is new computer and the keyboard was
set in Hebrew as its language. I never saw any arrows, but I can't say that they weren't there. Thank you so much for your help!!

I am working in a hybrid document of U.S. English and Hebrew origin and I have parts that are R-L and parts that are L-R. Thanks! C. Lang |

If you've never used them or the commands they represent, then they're probably hiding behind the down-arrow triangle at the right end of the toolbar where the unused icons hang out. (If they're really not there, choose Customize instead, go to the list of All Commands, and drag them to whichever toolbar is convenient for you. Their names appear to be "Left-to-Right" and "Right-to-Left." (If you don't go to All Commands, you have to try to guess which toolbar(s) someone at MS generations ago thought they might best fit in.) |

I was able to drag them off the customize list (interesting how there are things there that I can never find anywhere else! This will make my life MUCH easier. C. Lang |
