Paragraph Styles: Where has Paragaph Direction for Middle Eastern Version gone? (AI ME 2024)

[Shlomit Heymann]

Hello,

Problem is on Paragraph Style:

While under General on the left column I can see under "Indents and Spacing" that my Paragraph Direction is set to "Right to Left", I can't find this defintion where is should be, on the left colomn under "Indents and Spacing". It is missing.

Please see attached screen shot:

Adobe Illustrator Middle Eastern Version, 2024

Thank you

Did you turn everything on?

Thank you but what do you mean?

I've installed The Middle Eastern version with all the Middle Eastern languages componants. It should appear there. It's not something that you need to "turn on"... or maybe I didn't understand your reply.

Paragraph Direction appears in the Paragraph panel, but not in the Pargraph style options and it should.

Thank you,

Shlomit

I was referring to the Indic options. But maybe they are not there in a true ME version. Then probably you need to support this bug report: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/36365725-paragr...

Someone in there could solve this for themselves with an older version, but it seems to be unsolved generally.

Thank you, I just did 🙂

Hi Monika,

I just read this again.

The link you sent does not fit to what I worte. The report is old (2018) and it's about the Paragraph PANEL. My problem is inside the definitions of the Paragraph STYELS and I have reported that here:

Thank you for trying to help

I have the same problem, the truth is that the problem has been for years that ADOBE doesn't want to fix it, a corrupt company and I hope that other companies will come with products and software that compete with their frustrating products, there are already substitutes like Pigma that support Hebrew, apparently it doesn't pay for them to fix the problem, in the past in SC5 they had A unique ME product that supported Hebrew and Arabic, but to this day, about 15 years later, they still don't think to fix it, my solution is that if you open an Illustrator file made with software that supports Hebrew, then you can copy the paragraph and the direction will be preserved and the period will be at the end of the sentence, what an evil company

היי שלומית ישנו עוד פתרון

אפשר לשמור קובץ בעברית מגוגל דוקס בפורמט
RTF
ואז את פותחת אותו באילוסטרייטור 

באילוסטרייטור את מגדירה את הפיסקה שפת מזרח  התיכון והכל מסתדר

תשמרי את הקובץ שיהיה תמיד כשצריך לכתוב בעברית

Hello @makoregever,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind trying to install the Arabic/Hebrew version of Illustrator by following the steps shared in this help article (https://adobe.ly/3w3zKxN) to check if they help?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

@makoregever Thank you but this is not a solution. This is a bug that needs to get fixed. It is missing from the menu of the Paragraph styeles options. I can find it in other place but no there so my problem is not to define it but that it is missing.

🙂
