Punctuation moves to beginning of line of text

[selfcallednowhere]

When I'm typing a line of text, if I have punctuation at the end of the line it moves it to the beginning of the line. I'm using CS6.

Did you do a Forum search before posting?

Punctuation goes back to the beginning of the sentence

I tried to but somehow this result wasn't showing up for me--I don't know why. That fixed it, thanks!

It didn't work for me right away as well, but it worked once I changed it not through Preferences, but through Paragraph window

Make sure it is a window, not a widget in the panel / Go into the top corner meny (three lines icon) / Choose Single-line Composer.

Hope this helps!

I had this same problem. What worked was to change it to the type tool. For some reason, Illustrator automatically sets it to the right-to-left type tool. The shortcut is also linked to the right-to-left type tool as you can see in the photo. Make sure that when you type, it is set to the type tool, not the right-to-left tool. You also might want to set the shortcut to the type tool if you use shortcuts. Hope this helps!

Hi there, 

I just downloaded the latest version of Adobe Photoshop CC and am having this same issue with the punctuation appearing at the beginning of words instead of at the end. I've tried to change all the Type preferences and nothing seems to be working 😞 Does anyone have any insight into what else I might be able to try? 

Thank you!

You could try to actually describe the specifics and post meaningful screenshots including the pertinent Panels and dialogs.

Wow, you just come across as extremely smug in your messages.  You seem like you need a hug or maybe a hobby outside of trying to feel superior over people looking for help online.

In my experience written communication can fairly easily lead to misinterpretation of »tone«. 

So while you might have been trying to be helpful your post seems somewhat inappropriate to me. 

But who knows, I might have misinterpreted your intention?

HELLO!
for illustrator and  photoshop 

it's the Paragraph Direction setting

it is in the paragraph window

there are 2 buttons to choose from  >Ph   Ph<

this will move your punctuation and numbering to the correct spot!

dude your a legend.  The only one with the answer but going by the feed everyone else ignored you to their detriment.

[EvelynTheClayArtist]

I cannot find >Ph Ph<

I'm looking in the paragraph box on the right of my photo.  This is very frustrating.

dude youre legend thank you so much

[zsooofija]

You are the best, thank you so much!

[Digital Growt267018927p1e]

Thanks Wussies,

Also for after effects this is the solution that worked for me!

Now punctuation is added correctly

[4Dyce76]

Amazing, this worked. thank you very much for taking the time to write a simple answer for everyone to understand.

Crackers how unhelpful some users can be in a 'Support community', they need to look up both those words in a dictionary!

[officiallyazzam]

I have the same problem, I can't find the solution. It is very very annoying! 

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Character, Paragraph, Options Bar, …) visible? 

[jaydoh]

I have the same problem - annoying is putting it mildly. 
Come on Adobe - please fix this - it's a type tool . 

Any solutions for CC 2020?

I've been desperately trying to fix this problem. Googling and seeing your replies along with others, and ya just keep pointing out to read other pages. I tried all the links you've shared, nothing has helped! Whenever I type at the end of the sentence and do an exclamation or punctuation mark, it takes me back to the beginning. I tried changing the language settings from all world to latin and asian, nothing has helped. I don't have any paragraph option to fix which way it types like some of the screenshots show. It just started doing it this week out of nowhere. I close out of the program and go back and it does the same thing. It was working fine up until now and I haven't done anything differently. What is going on?? It's extremely frustrating since we use these programs for work and now we can't get anything done because it's so bothersome.

Here's a screenshot of me trying to type "!?" at the end of the word Drive, it just goes back to the start but it's hard to select and remove as though it were actually there at the front. Does that make sense? I don't know how to fix this and nothing I have found online has worked. HELP!

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Don’t panic. 

What have you done for general trouble-shooting so far? 

Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Character, Paragraoh, Options Bar, …) and the relevant menus visible?
