Currently, we don't have yet a way to say that a document is RTL (see 0017567). In this specific case, the question is if a specific document should only contain RTL or LTR tables or there could be both. Also, since one of Craig's latest commit, we have a default paragraph styles in the table styles. We can use that paragraph direction, to define the default direction in a table. On top of it, as soon as there is text in a cell, the actions on that cells would behave according to the first paragraph in that cell. |

Sometimes we need RTL and LTR tables in one document for example a company needs to publish an annual report both in Arabic & English. We should not limit ourselves for one mode. |

To add another example to what Fahad said, Punjabi is written in two scripts: Gurmukhi (in India) and Shahmukhi (in Pakistan). While Gurmukhi is LTR, Shahmukhi is RTL and there are books that feature both (poetry books for example). |

Do other apps have a RTL/LTR setting in paragraph styles for tables? Or do they inherit from the document? Clearly, if you need two different settings in two tables, then you need to have the ability to override the setting in any case. |

No, they have table direction option (ms office) or text direction (libreoffice) into table style. one thing they do actually if the paragraph style has RTL text direction then the table direction will set RTL and verse vice also true. tabel-direction-msword.png (89,682 bytes) libreoffice.png (51,528 bytes) |

I've added an isRTL setting for page items that we can use for this in the future, and have added to table styles and properties palette etc |
