Your question made me re-read what I wrote, and you will see that I have now clarified what Hooker actually said, namely: Outlook in the new Mac Microsoft Office Suite uses a new approach that does handle RTL correctly. His hope, then, is that they will implement it in the rest of the suite (specifically Word), since they clearly know how to do it in Outlook. Interestingly, he said that it is Arabic users that will be driving Microsoft to fix the issue. Getting RTL to work correctly in Arabic will also apply to Hebrew.MGVHoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984044532444865131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026869257529481970.post-39411174972864562612012-11-21T08:35:58.445-05:002012-11-21T08:35:58.445-05:00Did I understand you correctly?

That would be long-awaited good news.<br /><br />I use Mellel, which is a good product but much more basic than Word. You can't even do line drawings (a simple arrow to indicate flow between boxes in a diagram would be helpful). It also requires a considerable amount of new learning to use it effectively. Making Mac Word RTL compatible really would help enormously.Nick Laurencenoreply@blogger.com
