Changing the direction of tables
When the Extended support for Arabic text option is enabled, you can change
the direction of a table whenever needed.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1. With the text cursor inside the table, invoke the Table > Table Properties
command.
2. Switch to the Properties property sheet.
3. Under Text direction, activate the option Right to left to change the direction
to right-to-left.
To set the direction to left-to-right, deactivate the option.
The direction of the table changes accordingly.
Thus, when you change the direction of a table to right-to-left, the column on the
very right becomes the first column (instead of the column at the very left).
In other words, the horizontal direction of the table is reversed – as follows:
Left: Table direction set to left-to-right
Right: Table direction set to right-to-left
Note: Of course you can still change the writing direction of the text in each table
cell individually (as described in the section “Changing the text direction of paragraphs”
above).
Changing the direction of multi-column text
When the Extended support for Arabic text option is enabled, you can change
the direction of a text section that uses multi-column layout whenever needed.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1. With the text cursor inside the multi-column text section, invoke the Format >
Section command.
