dir="rtl"
I've just installed Office XP on my laptop, and keep getting this weird tag appearing. Does anyone know what its about? It seems to 'reverse' the way stuff shows up... Unsure

Does anyone know how to turn this off?

I've also seen a couple of extra options in the table cells horizontal settings;

Inter-Cluster
Kashida

Anyone know what the hell these are about? Its driving me mad! It keeps putting these friggin tagsin left right and center :(

Cheers

You sure your doctype isn't set to HTML?

Yeah, its legitimate. Was working fine on Win 98 ... Unsure

The page was generated by FP XP, so I don't think it would have anything to do with the headers, would it?

Well, probably as dir="rtl" is a /valid/ HTML attribute.

Yes. I'm not sure if it's something to do with IFRAMEs.

It's valid HTML. Means direction right-to-left

Example usage: look at the source of http://www.khayma.com/

Where did you get your copy of FP?

Weird... never heard of that tag before.

I got my laptop from PCWorld (in the UK).
