TOC comes out right to left, with Hindi (Arabic) page number

Post by jmt356 »

Why does my TOC comes out right to left, with Hindi (Arabic) page numbers? Selecting the whole TOC and then pressing ctrl + Q reverts it back to left to right, but then when I update the TOC, it goes back to right to left. Also, how do I get the numbers to show up as Arabic (English) as opposed to Hindi (Arabic) numerals? English is the language that i have the entire document set to, and the TOC is the only place where the Hindi (Arabic) numerals are showing up.
Regards,

Did the document originate on a PC with an oriental system language? Or did you import text from a document set to an oriental language?
Best wishes,

I can't remember which document I was working with when I posted this. I think next time I have this problem with the TOC I will have to revisit this page.
