Helllloooo my Adobe family!

I had an English language project captions export that had been translated into Hebrew and re-imported. I cahnged the preferences to allow for RTL languages, but the text is still reversed in order!!!

Additionally, the punctuation seems to have retained its LTR orientation.

Text has been aligned right, but it is NOT correct.

Is it similar to Photoshop, in that even when the MiddleEastern language option has been selected, one MUST create a new text box or else it will retain the formatting of the original language?

I noticed that there is a warning "FOR NEW PROJECTS ONLY". Does this mean that any language import this will happen to?

As you suspect, changing this RTL option will only affect projects created AFTER that point.

Try creating a new project with the preferred RTL setting, then copy and paste your slides from the previous project INTO that new project.

I'm still having an issue with Punctuation and paragraphs that have English worsd in them. If I were working in InDesign I would know how to fix this. How do I fix this in Captivate?
