Right-to-Left

Select Right-to-Left in the Options menu to quickly toggle text clips between left-to-right and right-to-left editing. What this command really does is switch between the “default text layout” and the “layout for opposite text direction” that you selected on the Appearance tab in the Preferences. Because you’re switching between text layouts, the switch may change more settings than just the text direction.

If you have at least one right-to-left keyboard layout installed in Windows, this command will have a button on the main toolbar. You will also be able to switch text direction with the Ctrl and Shift keys on the keyboard. To switch to left-to-right, hold down either Ctrl key while pressing and releasing the left hand Shift key. To switch to right-to-left, hold down either Ctrl key while pressing the right hand Shift key. These key combinations too switch between the “default text layout” and the “layout for opposite text direction”.
