Text comes on right side of Bullets?

[Troy Vann]

I am using Word 2002. I have two main problems.

(1) Whenever I open the new document, the default insertion point comes on
the right side of the document. How can I change it so it comes to the left
side of the document?
(2) Whenever I insert the bullets or numbering, the text comes on the left
side of the bullets or numbering? How can I fix this?

Hey Cindy,

Thanks for trying to help me.

In Tools/Language/Set language it is set to Arabic. I tired to set it to
English and also made it Default, but after clicking OK (and also restarting
computer) it again comes to the Arabic Language. I don't know what is the
problem.

In Microsoft Office/Office Tools/Language tools the default version is
English but Arabic is also in the enabled languages section. So if the
default language is English, why in WORD it shows the insertion point on
right side? Why bullets comes in wrong side?

I also noticed that I have Office XP. When I opened Word file, it shows
"Microsoft Office XP" but in the Help/About Microsoft Word it shows 2002. Why
it is like that? I have XP CD, how can I fix this problem? I have a lot of
word, excel files, I don't want to lose any thing. So, please tell me step by
step procedure.

Thanks

I have already checked /cindymeister pages, but could not find any
information regarding my problem. My default Windows language is set to
English and remaining things I have already explained in my post # 2.
