Change global text direction settings

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the International tab.
  2. Choose one of the following:
    • Click Right-to-Left to set edit field starting alignment to right, reading order to right-to-left, and keyboard language to the currently enabled right-to-left language.

    • Click Left-to-Right to set edit field starting alignment to left, reading order to left-to-right, and keyboard language to the currently enabled left-to-right language.

Note  When you change the global text direction setting, it will affect the edit fields of items that you open after you change the setting; it will not affect the text direction of the edit fields of items that are already open.
