Hi ,

I am making a book in word in 2 languages, English & Arabic, so half of book, the right side will be in Arabic ( cause in Arabic they write from right to left ) and the left side of the book will be in English, i have the text in two separate files.
What I need is a way to combine theses 2 files in one, and if I open the book from left side I will see the English text from first page to last page, and when opening the book from right side I will see the first page of Arabic and so on. in the middle will be the end page of both languages. English on left side, Arabic on right side


I can combine the 2 files but the order will be wrong, if I choose the English file and insert the Arabic text it will continue where English text ends and so if start with Arabic and if open the book from right side I will see the last page of Arabic not the first.

Any help appreciated , thanks in advance.

Word does not handle files as a series of pages but instead a stream of text.

With it only as RTL Arabic, is the beginning the last page printed?
If so, you could possibly save both parts as pdf and combine the two with a pdf editor.


It is also possible that you could tell Word to print in reverse order for that part, perhaps to the pdf printer. (This has to be done through the printer properties.)

Thank you for your reply, i wonder if there is a work around if the reverse can be done for one of LTR document in word and saved not reverse it when printing,

Thanks in advance.

I do not know of a way to reverse print only part of a document, other than by selecting parts to print. Again the reverse printing is done through the printer options.
