Right-to-Left Direction (RTL )

[Rasoul Khoshravan Azar]

I am using windows XP and Office 2000. I had a hardware
problem so I changed my hardware. Before, I had an icon
in Excell and Word for right-left feature (a small
vertical triangle pointing to left or right). I am using
Persian language for typing which is a right to left
script. On that time it was very easy to shift from
English to Persian for left or right input (just by
clicking that icon) Now after new installtion, I try to
bring it from View/Toolbars/Customize/Command/format/left-
to-right. Although it is over there but when I try to
drag it to tool box its icon changes to cross and didn't
come. I have to add that I enabled the left-right feature
in Control box/regoinal and language
options/languages/supplemental language support/install
complex script. It is posible to type from right to left
but in Excell and Access all characters appear in wrong
order and when I hit "enter" it becomes readable. In Word
it is OK but cursor stays at first column and don't move
with text. Any comment is highly appreciated.
TIA

Hi Rasoul,

You may want to check with the folks in the Word
International Features newsgroup and let them know
if this is an English language or localized Office edition.
