Hello Dave! Thank you for writing.

In Italy we say, "Cut the offense and feed it to the cat."
Let's forget about this. I know you guys do your best to
satisfy your users.

Ok. Got it. Now I have the aforementioned buttons. ... And,
yes! Finally the right-to-left function is working. You see,
Dave, I needed only a very slight bit of attention to solve
my problem.
Yet, the "Format->Paragraph->right-to-left" checkbox is
worth looking into, as soon as anyone has the time to do so.
I must thank you personally, as well as on behalf of my
Arabic-speaking user, who will finally be able to use a word
processor like us "lucky few" who are native speakers of
languages of the european stock.
