Change direction of a document containing objects

See how you can change the direction of documents containing objects in Adobe FrameMaker.

When you change the direction (Left To Right/LTR – Left-To-Right/RTL) of a document that contains graphical objects, anchored frames, or text frames the objects are vertically flipped in the document. This implies that if an object is placed 10 px from the left margin, changing the direction will cause the object to be placed 10 px from the right margin. However, the orientation of the object remains the same.
