Hi everyone,

I have a question:

"how do I insert a bullet on the right side of Arabic text in Excel". The reason behind this question is, every time I try to insert a bullet in Excel, the bullet goes to the left side of the text, rather than on the right side. This happens even in a computer where I have Arabic windows and Arabic Excel.

Any help will be apprecited.

Hope this ... See more

Hope this helps. Khair, in shaa' Allah.
