Expand it if using Word2000 Goto Language and click on SET LANGUAGE Find the language of your choice. I'm guessing English (Australian), click on it, making sure that it is highlighted, click on default. Word will tell you that this language will be your default and will apply to all new docs and templates. Click on Yes or Ok.. (whatever..) The reason Word defaults to right to left is coz this type of Arabic as far as I know is a Muslim lanaguage and is read from the right to left so it makes sense to type Arabic from right to left... Hope this helps..	Guest (0)
