Text direction
To create content in Arabic and Hebrew, you can make the right-to-left (RTL) direction the default text direction.
However, for documents that include left-to-right (LTR) text, you can now seamlessly switch between the two
directions.
Select the paragraph direction from the Paragraph panel.
If you have a mix of languages in the same paragraph, you can specify the direction of text at a character level. Also, to
insert dates or numbers, specify the direction of text at the character level.
From the Character panel menu, choose Character Direction and then select a direction.
