How to get text in Comments box to stop running backward?
I am a copy editor and get many files from other countries. Even though the
document text is set to English, the Comments boxes in Arabic-based computers always run backward, no matter what different settings or "tricks" I try. Setting the preference to English within the box has no effect. This is infuriating! How can I correct this? |

How to get text in Comments box to stop running backward?
The Format Paragraph panel (first tab) has a radio button for "left-to-
right" (third line under General, at the top). I suppose this only appears if you have Arabic or Hebrew enabled in Windows, so first you should go do that in case it isn't. Then you need to find and Modify the Styles used in balloons, which you can get at by choosing "All Styles" from the options in the Styles panel (which is accessed differently in different versions of Word). The styles to check are Balloon Text, Comment Reference, and Comment Text. On May 27, 7:06*am, lucinda09 wrote: I am a copy editor and get many files from other countries.
