Hi all,

I have written an Access 97 database that can output a report to Word. The report includes Columns and Tables. Now, the database was developed in Office 97, without any support for international (right-to-left) languages. However, one person that needs to use the program, runs Hebrew versions of Windowsand Office 2000. This defaults to right-to-left text.

What this means, is that when Access opens Word and tries to add columns, the "first" column is on the right side of the page, and the text is also sent as right-to-left.

Similarly forthe tables, the columns are placed with teh first column at the right edge of the page, and the last column at the left edge.

So my question is, how do I get Access (using the Microsoft Word 8.0 Library) to tell word to use English, and left to right text?

The only lead that I have found is the LanguageID[Other/FarEast] properties.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
