How can I right-justify the text in a drop-down field in Acrobat 11?

I have a literal that we want to include as a prefix before an Account Number field.  The users wanted an option to use either Account No.:or
Account Number:, so I was going to right-justify the choices in the drop-down selections but I don't see where to change the alignment propterty.  I used spaces preceding the Account No literal, but it would be better if I could right-justify the selections in the combo box.

Please let me know if there is a way to do this.

Thanks!!!

What exact version number? Look under Help - About Adobe Acrobat.

I also use XI Pro and this is what I see:

I just thought of something you should try... Look under Edit - Preferences - Language and make sure that the "Enable right-to-left language options" box is ticked. Maybe that will cause this option to appear.

Under the field's Properties, go to Appearance and select Right-To-Left as the Direction.
