HI all,

am trying to insert Arabic text in a document and wanted to also modify the tables  (changing columns orders). However, I cannot find in Character panel and Table panel the "change direction" buttons. Have Indesign CC 2017.

Any help? thank you

Elisa

    Hi,

    You can do it at the top of the InDesign window when you're selecting the text tool, please see the attached image

    Please, be sure that you've selected the text tool to be able to move it
