Dreamweaver Middle Eastern version

Hello,
I recently started learning HTML and I decided to use Dreamweaver as my web
editor.
I purchased the ME version (Middle Eastern) to have the ability to type Right
to Left langauges such as hebrew and arabic.
When I use photoshop ME I do have the ability to switch from left- to -right
to right - to - left with a single button click in the text tool.
It seems I'm abit lost in Dreamweaver.

Thanks,
Alon.

Alon,

Don't know if you're still wrestling with this but seems like you need
to load and select arabic fonts in DW first. Then, when you select
that font, DW inserts the following tags: <p dir="rtl">some arabic
text</p>. It displays correctly in a web browser but not in DW design
view. I can accomplish this with notepad. I went back and double-
checked to make sure that I downloaded the right file from adobe after
I looked at this. This and the fact that there's no additional info
for Middle Eastern languages in the help files makes me really wonder
is the supposedly arabicized version of DW is worth the $400
surcharge.

One more thing:
Microsoft Expression Web (formerly Front Page) does display RTL text
correctly in Design View. I think DW is a superior product overall but
Macromedia dropped the ball on this one when they farmed out the
internationalization.
