Hi everyone, the page numbers in the InDesign tab results reversed (from right to left). Here attached please find a screenshot of the tab. I don't know how to change the setting to the numbering to transform it from left to right. Thank you in advance for your support!

If you don't use inDesign's ME version (which supports left-to-right and right-to-left binding), then you can use this one-line script to change the document's binding direction:

app.activeDocument.documentPreferences.pageBinding = PageBindingOptions.LEFT_TO_RIGHT;

Looks like the ME version - maybe it was used previously for the document.

You're in right-to-left mode, you need to change the binding direction.
