About converting reports saved as text files from ANSI characters
The feature described in this Help topic is only available if support for right-to-left languages is enabled through Microsoft Office Language Settings.
In addition, to enable the right-to-left features in Microsoft Access, you must be running a 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system that has right-to-left support - for example, Microsoft Windows 2000.
Access reports exported as text files using the Export command (File menu) are saved as simple text files with characters encoded as ANSI code page values.
Viewing reports that contain bi-directional text and are saved as text files
Reports exported as text files using the Export command (File menu) are saved as simple text files with fields in logical, not visual order. You can use the resulting file with a number of different programs, but the file can be hard to read when it contains right to left text. Depending on the report complexity, a viewable version of the report can frequently be obtained by opening the file in Notepad and switching document reading order by using CTRL+LEFT-SHIFT and CTRL+RIGHT-SHIFT.
