I upgraded to TB 128.5.2 and can no longer type R-T-L. The R-T-L language works, but the direction is L-T-R

I changed computers and in order to make sure I could use TB on the new one, I updated the old computer from 120-something to 128.5.2, and then installed 128.5.2 on the new one as well. The transfer went okay - once I saw the video that explains how to do it - but when I sat down to write an R-T-L email, it didn't automatically R-T-L, and when I looked for the "switch-direction" button I was used to in the old TB, it wasn't there! I can write in Hebrew, (or Arabic), but I can't R-T-L the text. HELP? HELP! Thank you

I can '''write''' in Hebrew, (or Arabic), but I can't R-T-L the text. HELP? HELP! Thank you

Thank you for your answer. After posting, I starting wondering if maybe there was some add-on I had in the old TB that didn't get transferred, so I started looking in the add-ons and saw bidi-mail. Then I remembered seeing it in the (distant) past. I added it, and VIOLA! we are back in business. Then I came back here and saw your answer.... Thanks again. Steve
