[Solved] OpenOffice Calc displays in Reverse

Post by Jsnake60 »

Columns are displayed right to left instead of my US standard of left to right.
Column A is on the right hand most side with column B and subsequent letters shown in subsequent columns to the left.
Even the sheet display is backwards.

Things I've tried:
Doing a repair from the control panel of my laptop
Doing an uninstall/reinstall
Looking under the different menus for how to change this to what would be standard to me but so far no luck, any help would be appreciated.

I have attached a screen shot showing how it's being displayed.

Thanks

Format | Sheet | Right-To-Left should toggle the display between right to left and vice versa.

You seem to have enabled Enhanced Language Support under Tools | Options | Language Settings | Languages to make this feature available. Unless you are using languages other than Western, you probably don't need these settings.
