Paragraph direction

[Vivian]

In the pp template used across the company, when creating a new text box, it
consistently has the paragraph direction 'right to left'. This means that
bullet points are added at the end of the sentence, and moving the arrows
across the text has the opposite effect from what's intended. Microsoft's
Help suggests going to the menu: Format / Change Paragraph Direction... but
that option just doesn't exist. My language setting is UK English, by the
way.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi Vivian

Either install a language that supports right to left which will give you a
menu option to swap or check out Steve Rindsberg's vba answer here

Hi John,

I followed the vba instructions - and it worked! Thank you very much for
your prompt and correct response!

Thanks Steve ;o)

The cleaners didn't turn in for work this morning so if you want to really
clean up ....
(alternatively if you could tell me how to boot up the vacuum cleaner
preferably on an auto setting!)

As an aside thanks for the advice on which subscription to go for - I'm
still wading through DVD's!
