Hi! I am working on putting Arabic text into an InDesign document that is currently in English. I've switched my Language preferences to English/Arabic and reinstalled the InDesign app. I'm trying to copy, cut and paste the Arabic translation from Word into the InDesign document, but when I paste the selected text it shows up as blank. Any help troubleshooting is much appreciated as I have limited experience with InDesign. Thanks!

I know what I did wrong now, the first time I edited this file it was not in english arabic version, but in another language. After I made a completely new file it did all correct settings. In the old file it didn't react to all those setting changes somehow, I think because it was set in a totally different language. Thanks!

I meant after I installed the arabic language, I kept working in the old file that was created when I had a different language installed :')

This is such a simple tip haha, but I am very happy you posted this!!! Was getting very frustrated as I followed every step suggested in this thread but it just wouldn't work. Making a new file was the missing tip! Thx a bunch!!
