Hi Aazzoma

I'm not entirely clear where your issue is coming from, since there could be a few points.  Firstly, Studio itself should cope with the LtR/RtL conversion, but of course it does depend on you having set up your TM correctly.  If that's correct, the so far as Word is concerned, you can change RtL/LtR by clicking on the Text Direction control in the paragraph menu:



However, looking at your image, it may be that the text box - or whatever location method has been used for each label - is longer than the text it contains, so by the text in your translation correctly working RtL, it has just ended up too far away from the line it relates to.  If that's the case, it may be that you need to resize the text box, or alternatively change the justification, rather than the text direction.  I haven't come across this in Word before, but it's a common issue in Powerpoint.

If that doesn't help you solve the issue, could you post a small section of the source file (obviously, if any copyright, etc, allow) so we could look to see if there's another answer?

Hello Dear Robert

I used RTL/LRT in MS Word

but the formatting still corrupted

I suggest adding an option in SDL Trados  to save Arabic Translated Docx/PDF in LTR alignment, Similar to LTR languages in order to preserve formating

the user then can enable/disable LTR according to each document structure individually
