Specify the direction of the text in a text frame (left-to-right or right-to-left) in FrameMaker.
You can specify the direction (LTR or RTL) of the text in a text frame. This implies that you can create a document in which the direction of flows can be different. For example, you can create a document with two flows where an LTR language (such as English or German) is authored in the left flow and an RTL language (such as Arabic, Hebrew, or Farsi) is authored in the right frame.
Select the text frame.
From the Graphics menu, choose Object Properties.
In the Text Frame tab, select the required direction from the Direction drop-down and click Apply.
