From Hebrew to English
Hello, I bought my computer in Israel. All settings are made for USA user, though. My problem is that each time I start Word 2003 the cursor starts blinking on the right side of the page, directing me to write from right to left (in Hebrew), although I do not have Hebrew support enabled(installed). There is an option called "left to right" to change this, and it works fine, but only while the current document is open. After I close the document and open new one, the cursor again starts from the right side. Word simply does not remember my last setting. HOW CAN I MAKE THIS SETTING, TO WRITE LEFT TO RIGHT, PERMANENT? I also have my dvd software light scribe control panel in Hebrew,Is there an option to change it in English? The computer is HP and DVD device is Pioneer. Thanx -- Hal9000 |

This is probably a Windows rather than a Word thing. Go to Start
Control Panel Regional and Language Options and see what it says there. On May 7, 2:52*pm, Hal9000 wrote: Hello, I bought my computer in Israel. All settings are made for USA user, though.

All the settings in Regional and language are made in English. Also when I installed Vista for the first time I started the computer I set it to English -- Hal9000 |

Has anybody encountered such problem? My Microsoft Picture Manager also moves pictures from right to left. Does anybody know how to change this permanently? -- Hal9000 |

The fact that you have the right-to-left option available at all in Word
means that you have a 'complex' language (presumably Hebrew) enabled. If you don't ever plan on using it, you can remove it in the Language Settings. The first thing to do is make the l-t-r setting stick. I don't know off the top of my head but I presume it is set in your Normal template and you need to make sure it is changed there. (in Word) Press Alt+F11, press Ctrl+G, type "NormalTemplate.OpenAsDocument" (without the quotes) and press Enter; then press Alt+F4 to quit the VBE. Now change the text direction setting and explicitly save and close Normal (from the File menu). Close Word and start again with a new document. If - and I'm guessing and hoping a little here - you now have your text direction set as you wish that is half the battle won. You may find that documents you have already created still have the text direction set as right to left. If you remove the Hebrew support (as below) you will lose the option to change it through the UI. You will still be able to change it with VBA, so the choice is yours. To remove language support - I forget exactly but it's something like this - go to Windows Start Menu All Programs Microsoft Office Microsoft Office Tools Microsoft Office Language Settings. The right hand list in the dialogue shows your enabled languages and you can remove any that you don't want. I know nothing about Picture Manager but it does have a direction setting (on the View Menu). It would be advisable to set this as you want it before removing the language support as well. -- Enjoy, Tony "Hal9000" wrote in message ... Has anybody encountered such problem?
