Photoshop CS6 (reinstalled fresh today from Creative cloud)

Mac OSX 10.8.2

Macbook Pro

Fontcase 2.1.1

Hi I am having trouble with the type tool. it is putting all punctuation at the start of the sentance.

Example i want to type

This is doing my head in!

What i get is:

!This is doing my head in (exclamation mark at the start of the sentance)

So far I have:

Reinstalled photoshop

Changed the language prefs from East Asian and Middle Eastern (both give the same result)

Trashed all my prefs

Checked other apps (all fine)

Used different typefaces (all act the same)

I found this screenshot on a forum that looks perfect:

Howerver my paragraph panel does not have that option.

I have read this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056427

And there is nothing there to help.

Anyone help me out with this?

Thanks

Neil

    Okay..

    Click The Paragraph option

    Once the paragraph tab option up. Select the hamburger Option

    Now from the drop down menu that appears Select ("MIDDLE EASTERN FEATURES") ….. Assuming that that you have already done EDIT > Preferences > Type...> Choose Text Engine Options > Select Middle Easter and South Asian

    Now click back on the paragraph Option and the forward typing option should be available. Voila!! HalleluYAH!

    Matane! Yah bless

    If your Middle Eastern features is disable then you can enable this featured through few simple steps.

    Choose Edit > Preferences > Type (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Type (Mac OS).

    In the Choose Text Engine Options section, select Middle Eastern.

    Click OK, and restart Photoshop.

    Choose Type > Language Options > Middle Eastern features.

        Hi

        I just recently occured the same problem, and to fix this 100% you need to do following:

        Go to Preferences > General > Type > Choose Text Engine > Asian

        This will fix the prob!

          I had the same experience. The file is corrupted, that's all. Try saving it using an alternate name. If that doesn't work, the next best solution is to save your psd as a png, tif or jpeg, then cut it up and recreate the layers.

          Hope that helps.

            set your language to middle eastern

            Type> language options> middle eastern

            The option should be there now

            - Type > Panels > Paragraph Styles Panel.
            - Create new (Create new paragraph style), the button left to the delete option.

            - Double click on the new "Paragraph Style +1"
            - Make the changes you want and save

            - Use the new paragraph style ("Basic Paragraph" is the one making problem)

            This work for me
