Assuming ADAM's problem is with rtl text then a workaround with a script could presumably check each character using an 'is numeric' test (or similar test which scripting languages should support). If the Is Numeric = 1 then the character is looped out of the 'reverse text' function and kept (or returned depending in which sequence the script performs the commands in) to it's original order.
Just a suggestion from someone who only occasionally plays with scripts. Ivan Winters -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus/attachments/20121230/12e04b1b/attachment.html>
