Hello, Attachments usually don't make it to the list, they are stripped from the mails (unless maybe if odt/ods format). As I understand your problem, the question is that Arab writes from right to left, while English goes from left to right. Do you change the direction of the writing when you switch from one language to the other? Wouldn't it be logical that when you put a word in English into a sentence in Arab, that the word comes to the left from the last Arab one, since this is the normal way to read in Arab? -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua Beta 3.0.0 (and older) on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo SRC 680 m241 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
