Default Table Direction Issue

Hi I am working on a table whereby the left side is English and right side is Arabic - I can't seem to work out why the cross that should be on the left hand side to select the table is showing on the right side. I've looked at text direction, margins but can't seem to work this out. Can anyone help at all.

It probably relates to the fact that Arabic is a language that reads from right to left.

Thank you for replying, I did think that also as there are a couple of tables but the rest are displaying with the table cross at the left with the text reading from right to left but this table has the cross at the right with text right to left, its like the whole table has flipped to be the opposite way round

I have now found the solution in that I did not have Arabic Language set as another language on my pc, have now installed Arabic UAE and now have the right to left options installed for text direction in paragraph, table direction etc.
