Importing files

Julian Aron · May 21st, 2002, 03:41 PM

I have just upgraded from Excel 5 to Excel 2000. I import a lot of ASCII files and work in Hebrew which is written right to left. The import wizard in Excel 5 & 97 gave the option to chose between visual right to left or left to right. In Excel 2000 this option has been deleted. How can I import files written in Hebrew so that it doesn't come out back to front?

As my son pointed out (rather unhelpfully) you'll have to go back to the old version....but surely lots of languages read from right to left...so it can't be just Hebrew....
