RTL in Word

When using a language that is read from right-to-left (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew), you can identify which merge fields contain right-to-left text using the RTL: prefix. This allows you to identify the right-to-left text on a field-by-field basis, which is especially useful if your template will utilize both right-to-left and left-to-right text – some fields can use the RTL prefix and others not so the merged output file has a mixture of both sorts of text.

Syntax

{{RTL:Name}}

Notes

Do not use the &RTLFont=1 parameter in conjunction with the RTL: merge field prefix. The parameter specifies that the entire template should be merged in right-to-left text and will cause errors when used along with the RTL: prefix.

Word templates that include right-to-left languages are better supported by Conga Composer®’s PDF rendering engine. We recommend rendering your Word template as a PDF for optimum results.

Usage

Add the prefix RTL: at the beginning of the field name.
