I recently wrote a topic in Persian [with the Persian script] in MS Word and tried to transfer it to this forum. There were two English words in the text and apparently this caused the line spacing to get messed up, whereas in MS Word there was no problem.

Eventually I removed those two words and it was relatively improved, but even still it doesn't show the Persian script properly. That is, the right-to-left format doesn't work properly.

Is there any solution?

Waiting for your suggestions...

There is a solution, but not automated yet... Oct 7, 2007

Hi Edward,

Thank you for mentioning this.

Please try the following:

Right-click on the web page containing Farsi or Farsi/English text, select "Encoding" and then choose the "Right-to-Left Document" option. The whole page becomes right to left.

But in my opinion, this operation should become automated somehow. I hope the site staff could find a way for this.

Best,

Mohammad Reza

P.S: I wanted to write in Farsi here, because this is the Persian/Farsi forum, but I didn't only because I had to mention some English words, and otherwise the text would be corrupted, just as you said!! ▲ Collapse

Hi Every One,

Thank you Mohammad Reza for showing how to convert the whole web page into Right-Left direction.

Now, keeping the punctuation marks in their proper positions does also contribute to a Farsi-Friendly text.
How can we keep puctuations like full stops, commas, etc. from jumping to the beginning of the line?

I realized that some of you seem to have managed just that.

Please share your knowledge!

Hi Sima!

As far as I know, when you make the whole page Right-to-Left, the punctuation marks are in their correct position. Even in the Left-to-Right mode, only the final mark (the one after which there is no additional Right-to-Left text) is displaced.
So, by typing the Farsi or Farsi/English text directly in the Right-to-Left page, or typing it in Word and pasting it in a Right-to-Left page, you should see the correct punctuation marks.
