Change text direction and cursor behavior for bi-directional languages
If you are using a bi-directional language such as Arabic or Hebrew, you can set the IBMLotus Notes menus and text to read in the direction appropriate for the language, and specify cursor movement appropriate to the language.
Note: The Bi-directional tab appears in preferences only when a bi-directional language is available. In MicrosoftŸWindowsŸ 2000 and Windows XP, you can set your operating system to use bi-directional languages, but in earlier releases of Windows you may need to install language locales. Ask your IBMLotusŸDominoŸ Administrator for assistance in using other languages.
1. Click File > Preferences > User Preferences.
If you click Visual, the text cursor will move through characters in the reading order you set for paragraphs in a document.
If you click Logical, the cursor will move through characters in the order they were entered in a document. For example, if you have multiple words in English and in a bi-directional language such as Arabic on the same line in a left-to-right paragraph, the cursor will move from left to right through the characters of an English word, and then jump to the first character of an Arabic word and start moving right to left through its characters until it encounters the next English word.
If bi-directional text is enabled in Lotus Notes, you can set the reading order for paragraphs in a document.
1. Put the document in Edit mode.
2. Select the text that you want to specify a reading order for.
3. Click Text > Text Properties.
