I have a situation where I have Hebrew text in a field. As everyone knows, Hebrew
reads from right to left so, to type in the text, I was able to intercept the
keystrokes so my text goes in right to left and up to down. However, my problem is
with a second field where I want to dump in Hebrew text from a file. The problem
there is that I can set the textAlign to "right" but as the text dumps in, the word
wrap adjusts lines from left to right. For example, since the end of a line in Hebrew
is on the left, the text is put in from the end first so that the start of the
sentence actually gets wrapped to the line below. Thus a long line has to be read from
bottom to top. The text is Hebrew scriptures so I have to maintain the line integrity
and cannot break up the sentences at the points where they wrap to the next line and
rearrange them.
My question then is this: Is it possible to define a "special" type of field where I
could alter the way MC dumps text into a field so that it goes in from right to left
instead of left to right? Is the code which performs this function something which
can be edited? Where would I find it? Secondly: Has anyone dealt with this type of
thing before and has a workaround?
