Greetings,

I have a PPT slide presentation that was originally created in Israel and
will be used by sales team in US. In slide sorter view, the slides appear
from right-to-left (#1 starting in the right top corner). How do I change to
a customary English left-to-right view so as not to confuse our US sales team?

We're using PPT 2003 on Windows XP Professional. Appreciate anyone's help
on this question!

Go to Start > all progs> Microsoft office > Microsoft Office Tools > Language
settings and add Hebrew

You will find new menu commands for right to left and Left to right in slide
sorter view

Hi Steve

Your vba doesnt solve this particular effect! Ive been trying to write some
code too but I cant find the property that sets slidesorter view to left >
right and vice versa (its not paragraph direction)

I don't think I still have your sample pressie but if you can shoot me another,
I'll have a poke at it, add it to the same FAQ if I can. I think I've got an
idea.

Thanks to John W for sending me a sample presentation that exhibits this same
problem. I've added a bit of code to this:

Text is right to left, bullets appear on right of text
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00797.htm

It should now solve the Right-To-Left-Slide-Sorter-Problem as well.
