In MS Word, when I try to comment in a file someone shared with me, the text defaults to Right to Left
, even if the whole document is in English.
The author of the text has Right to Left languages installed, but I don't. My language settings of MS Office are English, new files have 'Left to Right' by default, so this SU article about getting Office to go 'Left to Right` by default does not apply.
I saw previous questions here on SuperUser & StackExchange were by people who had Right to Left
languages installed and can switch it off. In another post I found Ctrl + Shift + Left/Right would reverse text direction, and that works but is tedious.
Another post explains how to add buttons for R2L and L2r on the ribbon, but then still any new paragraph needs to be adjusted.
How to eliminate this default R2L direction, ideally in any new document that would come my way, or at least for for a whole document?
I have: MS Word 2013, Windows 7
