Dots appearing randomly at the beginning of some lines.

Hi everyone,

I translated an English file into Spanish and now some random dots show up at the beginning of some lines.

I just double checked and those were not present in the original file.

Can anybody point out a quick way to fix this? I don't know where to look.

Thanks!

    I’ll go out on a limb and guess that you’ve some how set the text as right to left.

    Hi,

    Like Bob said, your text writing order seems to  be like right to left.

    Change it to Left to right using the Paragraph panel

    It's the trailing fullstop that's being placed at the beginning of the line instead of at the end.

    I type:

    and it shows up as:

    Where's the setting to change this?

    Thanks!
