I am creating a website in "Hebrew" Language in Dreamweaver MX2004. I am just copying the text from Microsoft Word XP to Dreamweaver MX 2004. But the problem is the text coming out flipped. Not coming from "right-to-left" but coming up "left-to-right"I have changed the Encoding from the Page Properties to "Hebrew(Windows)" and also install the Hebrew Font and Keyboard layput in the Control Panel > Regional and Language Options.
Please help me to solve this problem.

You need to use the DIR attribute to display text as left to right - like this:
<HTML DIR="RTL">
or
<P DIR="RTL">
and when you write hebrew characters within these tags, the display should look ok.
You could also use a CSS2 class to display bidirection scripts like this:
.clsHebrew {direction:RTL; unicode-bidi:embed;}
And one final thing - if all else fails, you could always take a screen grab of the doc and just make a .gif image out of it - cheating I know, but hey, sometimes you just gotta bend the rules a little.

Could you help me with a problem I am having constructing a web site using Dreamweaver MX2004 and trying to place Hebrew text on it.
The entire site will be a combination of English, Greek, Polytonic Greek, and possibly other languages including Hebrew; however I expect the main Hebrew pages to be separate.
Hebrew language problem: I have received several hints for inputting Hebrew into the document, but none of them are allowing me to properly display Hebrew with the trailing punctuation. I am able to display the words reading properly from right to left, but not the periods and such. The curser is stationary at the right side of the screen although the words display from right to left properly.
I have made sure that the fonts are correct for Hebrew, and I’m using the UTF8 encoding on the page properties under the encoding category.
Do you have any suggestions? (If possible, could you supply exact sequences of operation for implementing any suggestions for me so that I don’t execute improperly?)
Thank you in advance for any assistance you could provide.
