Arabic full stop appears in front

Hi I use CS InDesign 6. With world ready paragrapher composer, I can copy and paste Arabic text in CS6. But the full stop always appears in front of the last line. Not at the end. Any idea how to fix it?
It's a pain to use a separate text box and put full stop in the right place manually.

There are a variety of ways to make this work for you. I am assuming that you are using English-language ID and don't even know that there is an entirely separate Middle East Edition that gives you complete typographical control over right-to-left languages. The World-Ready Composer lets the letters of individual words compose correctly, but you need to turn on right-to-left paragraph direction - and there are no controls for same in non-ME editions of InDesign.
So, unless you decide to go out and buy a whole separate license for the ME edition, your options are:
1) Buy a plugin that exposes the RTL type controls. I always recommend World Tools from in-tools.com, because it exposes stuff in the ME edition as well as the CJK edition (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) in generic English InDesign. This is the best price-performance ratio, I think, for money spent to typographical control gained.
2) Use a script or a template that already has those settings for right-to-left paragraph flow activated. If you search Google for "world-ready paragraph composer" you can find a few of those. I don't have a link on hand. They're out there, and they're free, but if you need to do something fancy (hanging indents, kashidas, LTR Arabic numerals for phone numbers and Hindi numerals for everything else, lots of bilingual sentences with frequent direction flow changes, and so on) you probably need either the ME edition or a plugin. You can do it with freely available character styles (or you can write 'em yourself if you know some Javascript) but I have found that to be a time-consuming way to work.
3) But if all you need is one paragraph of legible Arabic... then you can start a new text frame, go to the Type menu, and hold down control and choose "Fill with Placeholder Text" and, instead of getting lorem ipsum, you'll get a dropdown menu that will let you pick fake text in a variety of scripts. If you pick Arabic, you'll get correctly flowing Arabic text with the right paragraph direction applied.

Bullet and Full Stop formatting in right to left languages?

I am copying and pasting text from an arabic document to Captivate 7. This has been translated for us as I don't speak the language. The formatting in Word is perfect, bullets appear on the right, full stops appear on the left.
When it pastes into Captivate, the text is rendered perfectly, but the bullets want to go to the left and the full stops want to go to the right.
Any help or advice? Thanks!

This is not the right forum for your question. Try to post it in the Portal General forum, or contact Oracle Support.

Spacing after full stop

Hi
My printer is complaining that my justified text makes it look like there is no space after a full stop. In some cases, it does appear this way.
Is there any way to set a minimum or uniform amount of space after each full stop, within justified text? I have searching this forum + google but did not find an answer.
Many thanks..

Thanks for the reply Jacob,
The font is Myriad Pro, and the the app is InDesign cs3.
Actually before reading your reply I decided to you what you suggested, I went through and just added a space where there appeared to be none. This took a few minutes but the result looks fine.
I hadn't considered that it might be a problem with the font - I was surprised that InDesign wouldn't have a control in place to make sure there was proper spacing after a full stop, in justified text, but it makes sense that it could be an anomaly with the Myriad Pro font.
Cheers

HT5449 How do I get Dictation to type a full-stop instead of the word "period"?

How do I get Dictation to type punctuation? The support article says that you just have to speak it in order for it to appear but I just get one long run-on sentence with the word "period" many times in the middle.

Try the alternatives: "point," "dot," and/or "full stop." Do any of these options produce a period for you? And, as a different punctuation test, does something such as "comma" work for you?

"Full Stop" in Mail--Preferences--Rules?

I was going through my preferences and I saw this rule named "Full Stop"…but I don't know where it came from (I have another computer and it doesn't have it). I looked it up online but couldn't really find anything, which I thought was odd.
Can anyone tell where this comes from? I disabled it, but haven't deleted it yet. Thanks

I don't think I ever imported a mail account into this computer, or copied any preferences or directories relating to Mail into it (I added a laptop last year and I did synchronize the two machines but as I said the rule doesn't appear in the laptop).
It reads as follows:
Description: Full Stop
If 'any' of the following conditions are met:
'Every Message'
Perform the following actions:
'Stop evaluating rules'
That's it (not part of the rule

My time capsule was working and then I added another Macbook pro. TC stopped appearing in Airport Utilities. I have tried resetting TC, I have turned if off and held reset button with pen for 10 secs. I just cannot work out what else to do?

My time capsule was working and then I added another Macbook pro. TC stopped appearing in Airport Utilities. I have tried resetting TC, I have turned if off and held reset button with pen for >10 secs. I just cannot work out what else to do? I have turned router off and on. Amber light is flashing.

The ethernet says self assigned IP 169.254.67.6
Then the ethernet is not getting an IP from the TC.. there is no connection.
I am not sure where you mean when you say the green LED should be on. Do you mean the TC?
Thanks
In order to help troubleshoot ethernet connections all routers use connectivity leds.. even APPLE.. it has one big LED on the front.. and 4 tiny leds beside each ethernet port. That light has to come on for ethernet to be active.. if you plug an ethernet cable into the port and the light doesn't come on.. then there is no connection.. either the other end isn't plugged in.. or the cable is bad.. or the ethernet port is bad.. something is wrong.
To get access to the TC you need this led to be green.. is it?
If it is green and the WAN is also green.. then I want you to unplug the WAN connection.. the blue wire in the picture.. the port slightly separated from the 3 LAN port.. computer plugged just into LAN port.. no airport turned on.. and press the reset again for 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. then try and bring up the airport utility again.. assuming the ethernet led is green.
How old and what model is the TC?
The A number from the rubber mat will tell us the model.

Full Stop Replaced with UnderScore when downloading

I've been having an issue download files from IE9.
1. Any file i download has the full stop replaced with an underscore before the file extension.
2. Some downloads try downloading a PHP file instead of th requested file.
3. The Download prompt bar remains on the screen, until i click Open or Save. Cancel does not remove the download bar.
4. The first attempt always fails and reports that the file couldn't be downloaded and i have to click retry for every file.
I have tried removing and re-installing IE and running with Add-ons disabled but still having the same issue.
Any help, suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.

I still think diagnosis may be required but it appears that a workaround has been found.
In another thread a safe mode boot was found to be a workaround, doubling my conviction that diagnosis would be required.

FWIW my guess for that one would be the user's AV package. <eg>
In fact, perhaps that interferer would step out of the way when Protected Mode is unchecked? Etc.

Full stop sign on Sony Aino

When doing any writing on my Aino and needing a full stop symbol, I press button 1 where the common symbols are available in sequence. On my other phones the first one up was always the full-stop followed by the comma in second place. However on this phone it always gives me the '&' symbol first which is really annoying as I rarely need it and it delays me getting to the full-stop. Is there any way I change permanently change the sequence please? Many thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I can confirm this is correct, you are unable to change the sequence the symbols appear in.

When typing an email I need each new sentence to automaticaaly start with a capital letter. At present after a full stop the new sentence automatically starts with a lower case letternot an upper case one

When typing an email new sentences do not automatically start with a capital letter after a full stop.
Surely this should happen automatically without the need for me to touch the capital letter icon.

Either you didn't actually call Apple, and got some tech support scammer instead (calling the first number that pops up on a Google search for "Apple support" can give you some bad numbers), or the Apple tech you spoke to didn't know what he's talking about. It's not a virus.
As for the problem, if you have enabled auto-capitalization and the problem continues, first try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

CS6 - full stop (.) replaced by percent sign (%)

Using CS6 (ME version) on OS X and when typing a full stop with Arabic keyboard selected, a percent sign in substituted. This happens on both existing documents and newly created documents. Font is Abobe Arabic and works with other text programmes.
Typing into other text fields with Arabic keyboard selected accurately inserts the full stop.

On Mac please go to InDesign>Preferences>Advanced Type and turn off "Use Native Digits When Typing in Arabic Scripts" option.

My iphone 3gs stopped appearing in the sidebar

A week or so ago my iphone 3gs stopped appearing in the itunes (10.7) sidebar when plugged in to my computer. It shows in the itunes fuile menu and when I right click the itunes icon in my task bar. It would still sync from the file menu. Now, itunes has stopped syncing voice memos and because I cannot select sync options without iphone in the sidebar I cannot fix this.
Any help is appreciated.

You could try restoring and staying away from that backup. I've had that happen to me before on my iPhone 4 from a corrupt backup. You could be coincidently mixing the two issues, sounds to me like you got lucky and your phone is A-OK but you may be using a corrupt backup.

Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time.

When closing Firefox 23 with the taskbar, the dialog wndow is obscured behind it and I can't select close unless I keep clicking and it appears in front. Fix?

Got Firefox 23 forced on me while doing reinstall. First off the icon on desktop and start menu shows a white box around the Firefox icon, this by design?
Also When i click to close Firefox using the taskbar tab it partially hides behind the taskbar and I am unable to click it. Sometimes it appears in front as all the other programs do/should but rarely. V22 didn't have this problem. Is this also a feature or bug and how can I downgrade to the far superior version 22?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
