When you say you're changing the writing direction, do you mean programmatically via NSParagraphStyle or just testing in TextEdit? If it's the latter, then I'd guess TextEdit's menu action is also changing the text alignment as a convenience. ~Martin _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
