context numbering

Hi 

I used two different languages in my thesis (Persian & English) in the same content so Numeral setting in file-Options- Advanced just set in "Context". I want to say all setting is the same in word 2013 and 2016 but word 2016 has this problem ( changing number order).

Please see this links.

 Thanks for your attention I hope Microsoft support team solve this bug in the future update in Word 2016!

Hi Bagher,

In order to investigate this further, can you please advise which workaround you tried.  Was it changing Numeralunder Show document contentin File | Options | Advanced or using tables throughout your document.  It would also be helpful if you could provide screenshots of your issue in the document as well as the Numeral setting in File | Options | Advanced. The following link provides information on how to upload a screenshot.

Hi 

Thanks Diane for your comment but it's not working for long document file like "Thesis".

All the best.

Hi,

Though we don’t right now, we will have a fix for this issue in the near future. Keep checking back on this thread, and I or one of my colleagues will notify you when it’s ready.

In the meantime, it looks like there are two possible workarounds:

·        If you’re not working with mixed content (in other words, Hindi only), then choose File > Options > Advanced. Then underShow document content, next to Numeral, click Hindi.

·        If you are working with mixed content (both Hindi and Arabic), create a two column table. In one column, put the left-to-right Arabic numbers, and in the other column, put the right-to-left Hindi text. This solution will avoid the numbered list until the coming fix is released.

I hope this helps in the short term. Again, we’ll post here when the fix is released.

Best,

Diane

Waiting for a fix for this issue!! it wasn't there in office 2007 and 2010.
