<div>Hi Simon,</div><div><br></div>Somehow I managed this with arabic some years ago. We did the original in Word and/or OpenOffice and then I either copy/pasted the text into FM or imported the file (can't remember which), and, to my surprise, FM managed to even keep the punctuation (commas and full stops) correct. That was FM 7.2. But the whole time we had to change the language and country settings in Windows to Arabic, and we even added the arabic keyboard for my Egyptian colleague, who did the writing.<div>

that FrameMaker still doesn't support right-to-left text, but I was wondering if
there's anyone out there who have managed to work with bi-directional text
publications with FrameMaker. Or would you err towards other
document handling solutions that can handle PDF and XML
outputs?</font></span></div>
