I have a magazine article that included both English and Hebrew text. A copy and paste of the text creates square blocks where the Hebrew verbiage is. How do I go about correcting this? Thank you in advance!
You probably know this or most of it if you've been working wtih alternate-glyph and RTL languages, but...

Right offhand, I'd say cutting/pasting did not convey the right font, the right glyph assignments or might have been confused by RTL/LTR changes. You may have to fix all cut/pastes unless you can identify the cause and create an optimal conversion style.

Typing Hebrew in reverse is not really a solution for large works. This is Adam ××× when typed properly even works here in a web interface. When typed in InDesign it scrambles the sentence. There must be a way to make it work properly.

I don't know of many tools that combine language management very well, even in simple cases like English/Russian. You have to select a primary language set, and anything in a different alphabet, or reversed direction, or needing complex diacritics is going to have to be handled a bit clumsily.
What about typing (or just displaying) in a Hebrew/RTL editor, and cutting/pasting what's needed?

I have a solution.
Select World Ready...
Then use a compatible font.
TimeNewRoman works well in most apps, but not InDesign.
I am using LevenimMT
I will be trying other fonts.
