    Does anybody know how I can edit MS Word files on my TUngsten e2 in a way that will allow the text to move from right to left? I am not talking about right alignment. I need to write in a right to left language.
    I have the language itself installed on the PDA. All of the other functions work in a right-to-left fashion (i.e. to do list, memo, etc.) but I would like to edit my Word documents in that language on my PDA which requires right to left movement.

    Thanks

    Have you tried???

    you must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system that has right-to-left support — for example, Microsoft Windows 2000.
    You can do any of the following:
    • Change the direction of text in a section.
    • Change the direction of text in a paragraph and set the paragraph alignment for horizontal and vertical text.
    • Change the column direction of text.
    • Change the table direction of text.
    • Have Microsoft Word display the vertical scroll bar at the left side of the document window and the ruler on the right side of the document window
    or

    You can do any of the following with right-to-left text:
    • When finding and replacing text, match control characters, diacritics, alef hamza, kashida.
    • Switch the keyboard language.
    • Have Microsoft Word automatically detect the language of text you type. Individual languages must be enabled for editing.
    or
    Use the Keyboard Language button http://forums.majorgeeks.com/mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20Office\Office10\1033\wdmain10.chm::/images/langcont.gif to change the keyboard language of text. (This button is available only on the Formatting toolbar in the right-to-left language versions of Microsoft Word; otherwise, you must manually add it to the toolbar.) The letters on this button change to reflect the keyboard language in use.

    Thank you for responding. I'm not sure if it was clear to you that i was talking about a PDA (Tungsten E2) I have hebrew installed on it and something called hebrew to go which is supposed to give full functionality to my word to go in hebrew. It works fine except for its ability to go right to left, which is obviously crucial.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks again!
