left to right - text issue

Hello,

I've been having a problem with left to right justification. When I type in Arabic, the punctuation marks go to the beginning of the sentence and not the end.

I tried fixing it but I failed since I can seem to get the attached icon on any of my apps.

I have done everything from:

change language

Adobe world-ready paragraph composer

appropriate font

Hi Saba, Changing "Paragraph Direction" in Control Panel or Paragraph panel should be enough to solve it. Check post #3 in this link if you can read Arabic.

Hi Saba,

I hope the suggestion shared by Zaid worked for you. If not, here is complete information for using ME text in InDesign.

Find and install Hebrew or Arabic editions of InDesign CC or Illustrator CC
