Hi,

You need to enable CTL support for this to work. Open Tools->Options...->Language Settings->Languages, make sure that the "Complex Text Layout (CTL)" checkbox is checked, and restart the app. This will add 2 new buttons to the formatting toolbar, namely "Right-To-Left" and "Left-To-Right", which will allow you control the direction of the text. Does it help?

I enabled CTL support through Tools->Options...->Language Settings->Languages
, but it doesn't solve the problem.

What do you mean by "it doesn't solve the problem"? Do you click the "Right-to-Left" button and it doesn't work? Please provide a detailed step-by-step instruction to reproduce the problem. Thanks.
