Splitting paragraph the wrong direction

[hendy_5450]

I'm working on a document with both english and hebrew text.

When splitting the hebrew text into columns, it works well - splitting from left to right,

But when splitting the english text, it refuses to split from left to right.

Even if I selected the correct language and paragraph direction

Hi Hendy,

Have you tried this script:

https://www.id-extras.com/break-text-thread/

which comes pre-installed in Scripts > Community > BreakTextThread.jsx

And BTW, the author of this script is very familiar with English and Hebrew text.

where should I out this into?

[Mike Witherell]

It is already in the Scripts panel. Window > Utlities > Scripts

[Willi Adelberger]

Maybe you have in Type > Story change the order of columns or apply an object style with this setting.

it's already been changed!

Thank you for trying to help,

But I get an error when putting in this script.

also, I can copy the same text from one document to the next and in one document it will split correctly but in the next one it won't.
