Hello, Hopefully someone can help me,

im creating a book in indesign CC, but i want the page to be bound on the right hand side, as if reading a book back to front, or what a hebrew or arabic book may be like, I've already read up on this, that i might need a right to left script? (which i can't find anywhere online that works)

Any advice as to how i can get the book to print in this format?

thanks

i called Adobe tech support. It seems to have been a prefs and/or cache issue. After trashing them and reinstalling the program, the feature appeared.

Yay.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to. I don't get what's up. Is it possible that even though I have 'English Hebrew' selected in my prefs that somehow i don't have the English Hebrew version? The type all seems to be behaving properly.

Have you considered downloading InDesign with Middle Eastern options so that it allows you to choose RTL binding.

Hi

No, I don't get that dialog. Is that CC2018? I have my CC language prefs set to English-Hebrew....which made me download a different version of InDesign. I assumed that what I have *is* the ME version. Is there yet another version?

best,
Kurt

Go to Preferences > General. Choose "Use Legacy 'New Document' Dialog" and see if see what Zaid is showing in CC 2018.
