microsoft.public.outlook

20 Feb 2009 8:46 AM

IBRAHIM

In Outlook 2007, my problem is the Plain Text Direction appearing as RIGHT to
LEFT. Email outgoing and incoming emails, read receipt and delivery report in
Plain Text appearing as RIGHT to LEFT. I need to set defualt as LEFT TO RIGHT
for all emails in Plain text.

There is no problem in HTML and Rich Text direction as this is Left to Right.

I have purchased notebook from Dubai, UAE, problem seems with Arbaic or Urdu
languages which are interferring in Plain Text format.

My window is Vista Home, Microsoft Office 2007, set template as left,
language in Vista as English, Keyboard as US, Miscrosoft Office language
English.

Is there any LEFT TO RIGHT Direction setting in Outlook Option, if so, pls
help in indicating exact location.

Pls help to solve this problem.

Thanks and regards

Look in tools, options - do you have a tab for left-to-right settings?

You don't have a tab in Tools, options dialog for left to right (or right to
left)? I don't know how to change it, except on that tab. (It's possible
the tab is only present on English versions with multiple language support
enabled.)
