About creating macros in right-to-left applications

The following are some considerations to keep in mind:

• You can create custom menu bars in a right-to-left or left-to-right direction.
• The TransferText action allows you to choose code page format when importing, exporting, and linking files.
• Menu bars you create can be displayed with a left-to-right or right-to-left direction. For example, if oriented right-to-left, the menu bar will display with menu items starting on the right side of the menu bar and continuing to the left in a right-to-left reading order.
• The display direction of global and form menu bars is determined by the user-interface language.
• You can name menu items in right-to-left, left-to-right, or bidirectional text. An ampersand (&) can be added to a menu item name to designate a menu item access key. The ampersand applies to the next character in the name and causes the character to be underlined when the menu item is displayed. In right-to-left text, this is the character to the left of the ampersand; in left-to-right text, it's the character to the right of the ampersand.
• Macro names can be in right-to-left, left-to-right, or bidirectional text.
• The Macro window has a left-to-right layout regardless of the user-interface language.
