Thank you, Yes, that must be where I went wrong

I find the default highlighting for selecting text far too pale -- often I am not sure how much of the text I have highlighted. Similarly, I like coloured strike-through to make the effect more visible. How do I change the settings so as to make my preferred effect the default setting ?

WORK-AROUND: Create new table of 2 or 3 rows only, using Table-palette. Use Tab-key repeatedly to increase length of table until page-break appears. Copy and paste text from old table to new table, firmly refusing software's offer to include the old table's formatting with text being pasted.That see...

I have created a table of 38 rows (as confirmed by the Table Palette), each row containing text in Arabic, so written from right to left. However, the last row visible is 24.I had hoped that perhaps the missing rows had been carried over on to another page, but the Page-Count at the foot of the page...

Thank you ! That is the answer. I have struggled with this for hours or even days. Arabic is quite difficult enough without getting one's word-processor in a muddle. I am truly grateful.

Thank you again. "If the text is entirely in Arabic script, is Arabic language applied to the paragraph style (from the flag. menu in the Stausbar)?" Yes, the text is wholly in Arabic script,applied by clicking the appropriate flag-symbol. "Are you working with a text which was copy-p...

Thank you for your advice. I have done that. But for example, to type Arabic text between quotation-marks, I must type both sets of QM first, then put the insertion-point between them and type the text there. The same procedure works with parentheses, but I otherwise cannot make QM or parentheses wo...

Even with the help of the keyboard-viewer, I cannot make these work properly.Any help much appreciated !

Perfection,thank you !

On 2nd thoughts, can you kindly tell me how to achieve this step-by-step ? My table has got about 20+ rows, and there is a left-hand column awaiting numbers.

Yes, you were absolutely right ! Many thanks again.

Ignore that, I have worked it out ! Thank you again.

Thank you, and I have inserted a new column to the left of my table. Could you kindly just tell me what the steps are from there ?

Thank you, most helpful !

I ought to have made clear that the "gibberish"-column will have been in Arabic script. What puzzles me is that in the middle column, also in Arabic script, the red letters have been inserted by my correspondent into text prepared by me, without any loss of formatting.
