2. Re: How can I import Arabic text from MS Word without InDesign reversing and breaking the text?
Thanks for your reply. It's not a problem with the periods though, but the entire text changing. So "Hello" becomes "O L L E H". The text is backwards and spaced out, not connecting like Arabic should.
Someone has told me I need to find an option called "Change paragraph" or similar but it doesn't seem to be available. Someone else has told me a need to find an equivalent of changing the 'text engine option' in photoshop to Middle Eastern.
Please let me know you have any tips. I know this is a common problem with Arabic text.

Did you try what it's suggested? It usually works. Give it a go. Otherwise you need to either download a MENA version (CC subscribers have access to it) or buy a plugin like the one from In-tools.

I've managed to succeed using 'Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer'. Simply mark up your arabic text and choose the paragraph as in the screendump below. Hope it will help you too
