RTL text written in 'mirror image' in Dreamweaver CC - semi solution found

I have Adobe CC, which is set on English with Hebrew support. I downloaded InDesign and Photoshop under this setting, and they work perfectly well in Hebrew.
I'm trying to build a site in Hebrew, but whatever I write inside DW *code editing* is shown in a mirror image: It's equivalent to writing "this is a book" and getting "book a is this" (curiously, this doesn't effect on the characters inside the words themselves; 'book' will still show as 'book'). The live preview and the checks on various browsers display the Hebrew properly - this isn't a problem with the code (which already contains '<html lang="he">' and 'body { direction: rtl; }'), but rather how DW CC the program displays the text.
Is there a solution for this that does not involve me learning how to read Hebrew back to front or switch to a different editor?
Bottom line:
- Adobe CC already set on English with Hebrew support (other programs work fine with Hebrew)
- Not code problem - all tags are written properly and text displays properly on all browsers I've checked, as well as the live preview
- Happens between tags and in lines without tags
ETA: I installed the CS6 version of DW (English with Hebrew support), and it works perfectly. But I'd still like to be able to work on DW CC.

Hi,
We tried reproducing the problem at our end. Everything worked fine here.
Can you please share some more information on your machine configuration:
1. Mac or Win > Operating system
2. OS settings > Locale and Keyboard used
3. What all other Adobe products you have installed on your system (CC and CS)
4. Does deleting preferences helped you
We will try to replicate your machine environment here. If that does not succeed, we might ask you to share your screen with us so we can try to isolate the problem.
thanks,

Problem with text written on a image

Hi , I'm new to PSE9.
I have a plain image and I want to write some text on it.
ok but when I do this the text is does not look right. Its not sharp enough.
The definition of the lettersis not brilliant . Also how do you put bullet points on the image
sorry this sounds a bit basic
Thank you for your assistance

For your first question what font face and size are you using?
To answer your second question, refer to my msg#2 at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/607934 where I discuss how to insert special characters using the Windows Character Map.
Here I did a search on "bullet" and selected the round bullet and clicked the Copy button.
Then in PSE I activated the Text tool, clicked to start the text, did a Paste (Edit > Paste, or Ctrl-V) to insert the bullet, typed "line 1" followed by carriage return, then another Paste followed by "line 2".

I need to print text in a mirrored image for shirts.

I have Word for Mac and Pages so can use either program. We just need to flip the text to print on the iron on transfers.

In Pages print dialogue box there is an option to flip horizontal:

Printing Mirror Image on HP Officejet 6600 All In One

Trying to print an Avery (Microsoft) T-Shirt Template. I am running 64bit Windows 8.1. I have tried everything to access Mirror Image on my Printer but I cannot find Mirror Image anywhere. After I click on PROPERTIES I am only shown"Lay Out' & "Paper Quality". When I click on "ADVANCE SETTINGS" in "LAYOUT" there is "PRINTER FEATURES" This only shows "Print in Grayscale"; "Resolution"; Output Quality": HP Realife Technologies"; Borderless Printing" & " Print all Text as Black.. I have been trying for the last 7 hours to try and figure this out. Hopefully someone can come up with a solution. My warranty ran out 2 months ago so HP Support wasn't very supportive.

Hi,

My suggestion: flip image before print. You can use a photo editor to flip images.

Mirror Imaging Text (RTL arabic-style languages)

Hi,
I have an odd requirement, to be able to display text typed into a purchase order or sales order and display it on the smartform as it's mirror image.
The background is our Arabic smartforms need to display English as well as Arabic. Arabic only is not a problem and works, SAP displays all text in it's correct right to left (RTL) format. English only also work, text is displayed left to right (LTR) but to produce a smartform with both is a problem. We have gotten around it so far by turning off the RTL function in Arabic smartforms and hard-coding the titles in Arabic as mirror images of themselves.
But now, the business wants user to manually type some text into purchase or sales order and this text is to appear on the smartform. This text will be in Arabic and needs to be displayed RTL as a mirror image of itself. So, the business has asked me to write a function module which accepts text strings and converts them into mirror images of themselves.
I have to admit I'm stumped - 8 years of ABAP and I've never been asked to do this before.
Any suggestions?

Import text image in Dreamweaver

Hi All
I have designed some text headings (which are in colour) with a transparent background in fireworks and exported it (gif) to Dreamweaver. That is all good. But when I place the text image (as a background image) in Dreamweaver the text has (in places) white edges which I dont want. Any ideas why this is happening???
Any advice
Paul

The effect that you're experiencing is known as "jaggies". When exporting from Fireworks, you need to set the Matte colour picker to a similar colour to your background.
A better solution, though, would be to use an embedded web font. You can get a lot of free webfonts from www.fontsquirrel.com. Alternatively, if you're using the Creative Cloud, you have access to a lot of TypeKit fonts.

My iphone 3 GS shows mirror image i.e backward/reversed text when switched on or woken up ? Any explanations or solutions?

Hi, my i-phone 3GS suddenly started showing all text in reverse or mirror image when it wakes or is switched on. By toggling the on/off swtich it may revert to normal eventually but it takes time. Problem is recurrent for 3 days and makes the phone unusable in a hurry. Any explanations or solutions.

Add me to the list of disgruntled users who have had this same problem since upgrading to 3.1. After restarting the phone, it works for about 30-40 minutes and after that, no calls, no texts, no voicemails, no 3G web browsing or email (wi-fi still works).
The tech at the Genius Bar (at the 3rd St. Santa Monica, CA store) seemed as though he had no idea what the problem was. Since my phone is out of warranty, he told me that if the phone needed to be replaced, it would be at my expense, which p*ssed me off, since it was obvious (to me) that the OS update was at fault.
I did a half-dozen restores before I realized that there was no way to roll back to a previous version of the OS and that outside of that, it didn't really matter what I did.
I just read the tip on this thread about turning off 3G. It works fine so far. We'll see if it continues to work after the dreaded 40-minute mark.
Thanks, everyone, for the help. Hopefully, Apple will put out a fix quickly, before they have a revolt on their hands.

How do I print as a "reverse or mirror image" on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 model # N911a

How do I print as a "reverse or mirror image" on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 model # N911a

I have spent hours figuring out how to print a t-shirt transfer since my new HP printer doesn't seem to allow for mirror image printing (yet my old HP printer easily let me select this feature). Here's what worked for me, using Word 2010:
Create the text and insert any images into the document as you normally would.
Go to Insert / WordArt and chose a style of lettering (I don’t think it matters what you choose since you will be cutting and pasting the data from 1 above). A text box will appear and a new "double-decker" tab will appear at the right (Drawing Tools on top and Format below).
Copy what you created in step 1 and paste it into the text box.
Click on the Format tab (the cursor must be inside the text box for the Format tab to be visible).
Choose Text Effects / 3-D Options and then 3-D Rotation Options. A dialogue box will open. For the X value, enter 180. Do not enter anything for the other values. Your image should have rotated to mirror image.
Click Close and save your document.
You should now be able to print your document as usual.
Good luck!

How to stop printing mirror image in word 2008

Hello,
Since yesterday, I have had occasional problems: documents are printed with the text in mirror image and last night a word document saved as a pdf file also had the text reversed. When I saved the same document as pdf a second time, it was fine.
I can't find an answer in the usergroups and it does not happen every time.
Apple tech support said that they had never heard of this problem and it had something to do with a "mirror image" command in word, but I can't find any information about such a command in word 2008.
thank you,
Cynthia

the Preview.app has an option to Flip Horizontal.

Unfortunately changing the epub text size does not change the view at all. The images do not seem to change when the text size setting is changed.
The resolution of my machine is already at the max setting, so increasing the resolution is kind of impossible.
Any other suggestions I could try? Thank you for your suggestions!

Have you looked at your page with images disabled?
I urge you to re-think this approach to web design because images of text are not indexed by search engines, screen readers or translators. Given the demographic group your site is targeting, you really need to ensure maximum web accessibility for all users.
Navigation, headings and descriptions all need to be in real text -- not images of text.
Ken is right. Absolute positioning is pure poison for such a simple layout. My advice is to start over with one of the pre-built Starter Pages in DW. Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML. Select a layout from the 3rd column and hit CREATE button.

Centering an image in Dreamweaver

I am new to Dreamweaver CS4 and to CSS, despite several years of designing table-based layouts in Front Page. I've put a lot of time into training to understand the box model and I'm making headway. I have created a basic 2 column layout from scratch (no template) with a header, a left sidebar, a main content region and a footer. And with floats adjusted, it all works just fine.
I'm running into a problem with what I would have thought would be the simplest of tasks. Inside the main content div, I want a centered image followed below by some paragraph copy, which will be controlled by its own CSS rule. I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to center this image. In Front Page, you selected the image and clicked a "center" button - simple enough. But short of manually altering the HTML code with <center></center> tags, I don't' see an option to center an image.
I searched here and found a couple of answers that weren't exactly this same situation and/or that I didn't quite understand. If anyone can help me with this task without showing too much impatience with my ignorance - I'd sure appreciate it.

A lot has changed in Web Standards since Front Page. FP used old fashioned HTML styles. DW is web standards compliant which requires keeping content (html) separate from styles (CSS).
Use the CSS properties panel to a) create an #ID .class or selector name and b) define it's properties and values.
#ID {property: value}
#header {width: 900px}
.class {property: value}
.center {text-align:center}
selector {property: value}
h1 {font-size: 1em}
Classes are applied to page elements through the HTML properties panel.

Trying to get a mirrored image

I've got 2 macs here on my desk, a Macbook with 10.5.3 and an iMac with 10.4.11 both with Pages 08. I can't get either of them to Flip from Arrange, or from Metrics using the Inspector or Mirror Image from the Print set up. I am using text with a graphic. I removed the graphic in both in case there was a corruption issue (suggested from another post) with no change to my problem. This is a tee shirt transfer I'm trying to make.
I also have an old iMac which would print mirror image, but of course won't receive Pages. And the Photoshop on that old thing won't load on the newer Macs.
Sigh.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
R

At one time, not too long ago, your answer would have been found in the Print dialog. That seems to have vanished. But you can still get it done with the tools you have available...
• Save the Pages™ document (I'm assuming here that it's a single page) as a PDF.
• Open the PDF document with Apple's Preview application.
• From the File menu in Preview, choose "Save as..." and select TIFF (any graphic format will do, but TIFF makes it easy to set whatever resolution you want -- 150dpi is the default).
• Finally, from the Tools menu, choose "Flip Horizontal"
• Crop your inverted image, as appropriate
• then Save the inverted (and now cropped) TIFF document.

Any way to print a mirror image anymore?

The Mac used to have an option for printing a mirror image of your document. What happened to this? I need to be able to print a mirror image from Pages.
Thanks!

That's an option in some printers. None of my printers have ever had the option, but I've worked around it by flipping the image & text boxes in AppleWorks for years. You can do the same thing in the metrics inspector in Pages.
