Problem handeling the text direction in Text-Attributes

Hello,
there seems to be a shortcut using the keyboard that enabled right-to-left text direction what leads to problems. Using dxl is of course possible and editing the rtf as well. But I want do prevent people from pressing xy and I want to give them a hint to press yz to revert the text direction. Providing a dxl script seems not usefull.

Any idea what shortcut it might be? I had a look in the wordpad help as well but also found no hint.

Regards,
Moritz

Forgive ignorance, but I've never heard of changing the typed text direction from <left-to-right> to <tfel-ot-thgir>. Which application lets you do that; got an example? You're not talking about paragraph alignment?

Left
aligned
paragraph

Right

Center
aligned

Left aligned paragraph   Right aligned paragraph   Center aligned paragraph

Hello, as far as I know this feature is used in arab or thai language. http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/right-to-left.html.
In a DOORS Object Text it looks like that

string s = 
"{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\deflang1031{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil\\fcharset0 Tahoma;}} \\viewkind4\\pard\\ltrpar\\f0\\fs20 Text left to right\\par \\rtlpar\\rtlch Text right to left\\par 
}
"     (current Object).
"Object Text" = richText(s)

If you now move to the rtl paragraph and press Pos1 it moves to the right.

Hello,
i solved this problem. Using CTRL+left or right Shift key. Switches the Textdirection (german word in MS-Slang "lesefolge").

Cntl plus either the left-Shft key or the right-Shft key while editing the text value. Gads, I'd never have thought of that. Figure out Center?
