How to Switch Arabic Numbers to English in a Mixed Language InDesign Document

Hi,

 

I have the 19.5 version of InDesign. I have a document that has a mix of English and Arabic. I took the file from someone else, who is Arabic. I had to add Adobe Arabic to my fonts. Since then, the numbers in my English text are in Arabic. I need them to be in English. When I highlight the number, it doesn't say Adobe Arabic, it says the English font that I used.

 

Please advise on how to make the switch,

 

Appreciate it,

 

Thanks!

When you select the numbers does the LANGUAGE say English?

I resolved it. When I was in text, I didn't see that under CHARACTER it said ARABIC. I switched it to English.

 

Thank you!
