When I open up a word document my cursor has aligned to the right even though the align left button is highlighted when. Press the align right button my cursor goes to the left, can one please help, it is driving me crazy
I have checked the lanuage settings and other simple fixes without success.
Thank you

It sounds as if some right-to-left language features have been enabed. However, if you are sure that is not it, you could try exiting Word and renaming the Normal template. Restart Word and see if that fixes things.
