    Thanks @kasraouiah for your quick reply. Unfortunately it is now what I'm after. I know I can change the text alignement to the right but I'm looking at changing the text orientation to be compatible with arabic. In arabic the text is oriented right to left, for example ABC in English (left to right) would become CBA in Arabic. Let me explain, in English as you type each letter, the new letter joins the previous one to it's right. You type A, then the letter B comes to the right of the letter A etc. In Arabic, letters join the string to the left so you type A then the letter B comes to the left of the letter A. 
    This is what I find challenging. 
     
    I would welcome ideas on how to address this.
