Garth Vance Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 When I copy Hebrew text from a word doc into Designer or Publisher, it reverses the text. I know Hebrew is read right to left, but it's already corrrect in word, so why does Affinity reverse the letter order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth Vance Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Early, I copied and pasted Arabic from a word document into Publisher sucessfully. Now, when I copy an paste the same text into the same Publisher file, it now comes out like this...赧桒 貪硼ﾟﾓ 槢衂ﾈ ﾅ碆 ﾇ矼ﾏﾑﾓﾉ. Not sure how I could do this previously and now I can't. And why does it copy as Arabic and paste as Japanese in Affinity. On any other MS Office document, it pastes Arabic correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
