DW CS5 on MacOS 10.7.x
I sometimes need to embed short snippets of right-to-left text in pages that are predominently left-to-right.
Editing around these insertions is often very difficult. Design View and Code View fall out of synch. Once the snippets are inserted, successful adjustments often depend on placing the editing cursor at the opposite end of the text and editing there. Yeah, it is really difficult confusing editing text that isn't visible at the cursor.
Since most of the mixed material comes to me in word-processing document form, I've tried inserting
<span DIR="RTL"> ... </span>
around each snippet and
<span DIR="LTR"> ... </span>
around everything in the original .DOC or .rtf, etc., then copying-and-pasting from that dic ti to Code View. This seems to help.
Suggestions for best results?
TIA
