I received a word document that was probably created on a machine with some sort of right-to-left locale (e.g. Middle East). All text is in English but editing it is a pain. However, I can't figure out how I can switch the direction to left-to-right in Word 2007. The directions here are not helping since I can't find the "Views" button or tab that I am supposed to click as described under "Set right-to-left text writing". So how do I switch? Thanks!
Answer
Add and enable the alternate language under
Start / Programs / Microsoft Office / Microsoft Office Tools / 2007 Microsoft Office system Language Settings
Click the round Office button:
Click Word Options:
Click Customize:
In the Choose commands from drop-down menu, select Home Tab instead of Popular Commands
Find and highlight Left-to-Right Direction, then click the Add button to move it to the Customize Quick Access Toolbar section
Add the Right-to-Left Direction command to the QAT as well
Now in the QAT you will see the RTL () and LTR () buttons, which you can use as required
