Searching for mixture of left-to-right and right-to-left character Mountain Traveller 02.03.2006 18:56:27 Does anyone know if it is possible to search for (and replace) a string in Microsoft Word 2003 that contains a mixture of both left-to-right and right-to-left text? In translating material from English to Arabic, some items (for instance names of Western companies) in our text remain in English left-to-right, and we need to be able to search-replace phrases which include a mixture of English ltr and Arabic rtl text.
