Middle east Punctuation are reversed

Hi, I'm using Illustrator to write in hebrew.

I already turned on the option "Show Indic Options" yet, even though now I write in hebrew, the punctuations are backwards.. so for example: Hello! becomes !Hello.

When i check the paragraph options, the option "middle east & south asia" is selected.. so why does it still reverse the punctuations?

    Thank you so much this solved the problem of the Hebrew punctuation going at the wrong end of the line.

     Im not an expert but I figured it out the answer and it finally worked.

    You have to go to windows>type>character styles and then on the drop down menu click on character style options.

    Then click on middle east character formats > Character direction choose right to left and press OK. Wallah! u did it!

        Is it the Hebrew version of Illustrator?

        I went to the Creative Cloud and changed it to middle east, i saw my programs getting and update afterwards.

        Does that mean i have the middle east version?

        Illustrator is very peculiar with versions. When you have multiple languages installed then the system language decides whether Illustrator launches in English or Middle-Eastern.

        You could check in your user folder if there are multiple Illustrator languages installed. Either in the Illustrator Preferences folder or in the Application support folder you would be seeing that.
