How to change text to read right to left-InDesign CC?

Is it possible to change the text direction using InDesign CC North American/US version? I am working with Arabic text and need to change the direction to read right to left.

I've changed the Paragraph setting to "Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer," but I don't see the options in the Paragraph Panel to change the direction of the text.

Thank you,

Charlie

English: Its easy, choose "Paragraph" (window => text and tables => paragraph). Than go to de right corner of the paragraph menu en choose: international adobe Composer paragraph.

Nederlands: Ga naar "Alinea" (venster => tekst en tabellen => alinea. Dan klik je op de 3 streepjes in de rechte hoek van de alinea menu en kies je: international adobe Composer alinea.
