Hi All,

    I'm using InDesign Middle Eastern version i.e. with Arabic support.

    See Ganesh, since you're dealing with Right-to-Left script and need to control punctuation properly, you must then have InDesign that provide these extra tools for RTL languages.

    Since you have an active Adobe CC subscription, you may download ME version.

    Hi Zaid,

    I am facing with one more query.Can you please help me out.

    Concept is if Arabic fiber content is empty then "AR" should ignore but it's not ignoring.Is there any possible way to resolve the issue?

    HI Zaid,

    Actually we are doing automation work not manual.So we have done XML tag in indesign to generate the output via importing excel file.So issue is We have kept "AR" as Static and fiber content we kept as "variable".So excel if fiber content is empty,then including "AR" should ignore and below "JP" japan content should come up and fill in "AR" place.In case if arabic content is present in excel then AR and arabic fiber content will remains same.Please suggest me is there any solution to resolve this issue.

    Thanks

    Apparently this XML ignore issue is not related to Arabic matter, I was hoping that some one else from the forums would help here. Sorry I couldn't be of much help here.

    Although you tried to clarify things for us in your question, I got lost though.

    Is this what you're trying to do, if yes, then apply same settings in Paragraph panel as I did.
