A text in cells is placed symbol-by-symbol (one symbol or a space - one cell). How the text will be output depends on the RightToLeft property. If it is set to false, then a text is output from left to right. The picture below shows a text sample in Arabic that is output from left to right:

If the RightToLeft property is set to true, text is displayed from right to left. The image below shows an Arabic text sample displayed from right to left:

The RightToLeft property works the same way for all languages in the Text in Cells component. Depending on its value, characters and symbols are displayed either from left to right or from right to left. The images below show text displayed in left-to-right (first image) and right-to-left (second image) modes:


The RightToLeft property depends on the Continuous Text property. If Continuous Text is set to true, the RightToLeft property has no effect. In this case, text is always displayed from left to right. If Continuous Text is set to false, the text direction is determined by the RightToLeft property.
