[Solved] Show "left to right" & "right to left" buttons

Post by ringel »

Hey, this is my fist message [YAY :D ].

I need help.

I am trying to use the "left to right" and "right to left" option, but for
some risen I cant, the Open Office won't let me make it visible and therefore
you can not use it.

Can you help me please,
Thanks in advance :super: .

Hi and welcome to the forum!

That should help: [Solved] I could not make LTR or RTL icons appear?

Please add '[Solved]' at the beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

Can you give us some additional details???
Are you able to make the icons appear in the toolbar? Are you able to click them? Do you use a LTR language?...

YES. They are listed as one of the tools on the toolbar,
but they are not visible.

I am trying to mark them with a "V" to make them visible but
it is not working, they dont get marked.

And customize my own toolbar?

I did that already, and I am having the same problem with
the custom toolbar.

Are you sure that the option Enabled for complex text layout (CTL) is checked in: Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages > Enhanced language support?
