Hebrew, Shrebrew... if it says the writing can go right to left then I expect to be able to make it go "werberhS ,werbeH" . But it does not do this at all! I say yes to Rich text, I select right to left and guess what it does? Something incredibly pathetic, weak as piss (to use a common Australian expression): it puts the phrase on the right side of the page. Same thing happens to actual typing new words, they simply start at the right of page, and move to the left as you type to make room for the latest keystroke at the far right edge. But they are just normal looking and right justified. Apple really have stuffed up bad eh? Admit it!
Actually, Apple didn't stuff anything up. I'd only expect Windows to screw things up that badly. English is a left-to-right language. If you switch the language to Hebrew or Arabic, the letters will indeed behave like you're expecting. This behavior is determined by the character set/localization you're using, not just the menu setting.
