No other languages installed other than english. Can't see to find anything to disable this under region and languages under control panel.

1. Open Control Panel, click Region and Language , and then click Regional and Language Options.2. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab, and then click Change keyboards.3. Under Installed services remove all keyboards, which support right-to-left input. My English is not very well.

There is only one keyboard listed. English (United States) - Keyboard - US Thanks for trying.

Have you checked Region and Language -> Administrative - Language for Non-Unicode programs? What is your current system locale for Non-Unicode? My English is not very well.

Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum. This reading orders are only available in the Windows Multilingual User Interface Pack, they were installed automatically by Windows and shown in the list, but are not available if you don't have multiple languages installed on your computer. You can install or change a display language visiting the following website.

I clicked on everything I possibly could under region and languages. All tabs, buttons, and drop down boxes. Everything says United States or english.

Under CtrlPanel-->Region & Lang. ---> Options goto the Languaes tab and there is a box you can uncheck to disable right-to-left language support. You have to restart your computer before the changes take effect. I haven't done that yet, myself, but I assume this will fix it.

I don't see that under my version of windows 7. Tabs:Formats, location, keyboards and languages, administrative I have clicked under all the tabs, all the buttons and see nothing like the screen you have posted above. You sure that screen shot isn't from windows xp?

I am having exactly the same problem. i using windows 7 64 bit and office 2007. there doesnt seem to be an option to remove right to left. have spent too many hours trying to fix. glad someone else shares the problem

The above screenshot is from XP where you had to enable/disable RTL (right-to-left) support originally. That problem doesn't exist in Windows 7 as both script directions (RTL and LTR) are supported by default and get enabled by selecting a) a localized version of Windows (say, an Arabic or Hebrew Windows for RTL) or b) a specific input language whose script is read right-to-left. Note that the whole thing isn't a keyboard issue (the keyboard layout may be standard EN-US because "LTR/RTL" affects only the text output, not the input) and has nothing to do with the "display language" (changeable via language packs in Windows Ultimate) that affects only the user interface (menus, messages, etc). To put it short: The direction of the text output depends only from the "default input language" that is shown in "Keyboards and Languages" > "Change keyboards" > "Default input language". If this language is written/read right-to-left, all your text output will be RTL, no matter what keyboard layout you choose. Reversely, if the default is "English (United States) - US" (written/read left-to-right), all your output will be LTR. - The only cases I can think of where there could be a mismatch are Windows versions for countries that use both script directions (probably Israel with English/LTR and Hebrew/RTL)."I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.
