Weird formatting with numbers and decimal in InDesign

Question

Hi all,I am currently designing an infogrpahic in InDesign and everytime I put a percent symbol in a text box the formatting screws up for example instead "Even though 19% reported x" it instead says "reported x %19 Even though." I am completely baffled by this and I have searched the internet for solutions but they simply do not work. Any help would be appreciated!

Look this up in the help pages:https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/paragraph-character-styles.html Read it from top to bottom and then consult section "Clear paragraph style overrides". Regards,Uwe Laubender( Adobe Community Professional )

I guess, that you are using the wrong paragraph composer for your text.Instead of the Adobe World-Ready Composer, use the Adobe Paragraph Composer.Also the wrong font which is Adobe Arabic. It should be Minion Pro with your applied [Basic Paragraph] paragraph style. So your applied paragraph style shows style overrides; notice that little + at the end of the style's name.Get rid of the style overrides. There is a menu command for this in the Paragraph Styles panel. Currently you are using features, that are necessary for Arabic or Hebrew text. FWIW: All panels can be accessed through main menu Window.See Styles > Paragraph Styles or switch your workspace to the Typography one. Regards,Uwe Laubender( Adobe Community Professional )
