    Importing from Word may carry over extra formatting, which sounds like it may be the culprit. I realize it’s not “automatic” but if you clear the over-rides for a paragraph style, will that correct the reversed English? You may have to go through and apply a Character Style to all the Hebrew text (RTL direction and possibly font) and clear overrides. (Only available with the Middle East version of InDesign.)

    I’ve imported Word text, then go through and *find* all Italic text, and apply a Character Style of Italics, bold text to CStyle Bold, Bold Italic, etc. etc. Then I go through and apply the appropriate Paragraph style for each paragraph. Then… where Headings are Bold (in the Paragraph Style) I search for that and remove the Bold Character Style that was applied earlier. (Not really a big deal unless you export to epub – saves extra codeing there.) Then you can clear any over-rides left over and have clean text. Hopefully that makes sense!

    Just remember there’s Character Direction, Paragraph Direction, and Page Direction when working with RTL and LTR text. All 3 need to be changed for a RTL book. And mixing them in a book like you are working on.

    On a side note, I love how the Arrow Keys aren’t Left and Right, but rather Backwards and Forwards.

    Thanks David – I’ll have to check them out, but if they don’t work at least it’s good to know and revert to a more manual approach. I appreciate the help!

    No – that’s my reply, lol. Barb’s suggestion is to start a new chapter at the top of a page – which won’t work for me. I don’t think you are understanding what I want to do.

    I can use paragraph style (for Chapter Number) but not sure how to incorporate the Chapter Number into that style where it can be picked up but not part of the text.

    Thank you Steve. I think that’s what I’m doing – and works unless there’s part of a previous chapter “left over” on the page, so the <Chapter Number> picks up the new Chapter, when I want it to reference the left over Chapter.
    I actually did that for the Luxembourgish New Testament – referenced only the Chapter Numbers (but not the Verse Numbers.) Hope that makes sense – the images on the Adobe Forum may help explain.

    I had the same problem.

    Sarah from here: https://creativepro.com/topic/inconsistent-text-wrap-space-around-images pointed out that it’s a preference under Composition / Text Wrap / Skip by Leading
