Reply To: Adobe World Ready Par. Composer – punctuation

In the Scribedoor panel, it’s Character – Direction – Default/LTR/RTL
In CS6 ME version, it’s a menu item in the flyout menu from the top right of the Character panel, Character Direction – Default/LTR/RTL
Can’t speak for World Tools.
But in all of them, it’s a character-level attribute.

If you have all text set to RTL, some of the ‘ambiguous’ characters like brackets may behave wrong if they are next to LTR segments like numbers. If you have all text set to Default, the para composer tries to work out if it’s a closing bracket (for example) on a RTL or LTR segment of text.

Only a theory.

Another theory: is ‘paragraph direction’ is also set to RTL?
If you have paragraph direction set to LTR, but right-aligned, the punctuation also goes wrong.
