Hi, I'm trying to do a simple task such as paragraph of bullets, with my custom font and bullet point for every sentence.

I'm typing in Hebrew, a Right-to-Left language, so the bullets are appearing on the left side, is there a way to fix that?

btw, the paragraph settings are set to "Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer", and Hebrew as the language.

What I would do is draw a text frame and hold down the cmd/ctrl key while choosing Type > Fill with Placeholder Text. In the menu choose Hebrew and then apply the bulleted list option to the text. The bullet will now be on the right.

Wow I didn't know this was an option, thanks!

Still though, I have a document I created and it still show the bullets on the left, and the overall direction of text is still LTR, so dots and commas appear to the right of the text, when it should be at the left.

Is it because I just changed this setting and I need to create a new document maybe?

Thanks!

Open document in Hebrew version InDesign and change paragraph style options for support RTL bullets.

Something like this - https://indesignsecrets.com/numbering-paragraphs-side.php
