Adding Foreign Text
The Text objects dialog box lets you enter foreign language text, such as Arabic, directly in the Text area
(granted that the corresponding foreign language text feature is enabled in Windows).
Using Global Variables
If you use a Global variable containing a foreign language text string within a Text object, you must map
the characters included in that non-Unicode text string to UTF8. To do this, you must use the mapUTF8
function. You can do this by placing a PlanetPress Talk object above the Text object in the Document
Structure or in the Text object itself using the PlanetPress Talk Before properties.
Using Dynamic Data within Local Text Variables
You can add dynamic data to a Text object by using custom data selections. If you do so , you must use the
mapUTF8 function within the definition of each custom data selection.
Text Direction
A new setting was added to the paragraph options to enable right-to-left text display for paragraphs
associated with a foreign language text style.
A. Arabic style ; B. Right to left text option available when an Arabic style is selected ; C. Static text and data selection as edited
within the Text objects dialog box.
