Problem with Hebrew Punctuation in Pages for Mac
I work on an iMac running OS X 10.11.3. I recently purchased the current version of Pages, primarily for using in Hebrew, which is written from right to left. I had a Hebrew keyboard installed already, but the bi-directional button did not appear. I can change the text direction manually from the Format menu. HOWEVER, when I type a punctuation mark such as a period, a comma, a question mark, etc., the punctuation mark jumps to the right hand beginning of the line. It goes back to its intended place when I type another letter, EXCEPT when I hit return. Then it stays at the beginning of the line instead of at the end of the sentence.
Like this: הבאנו שלום עליכם. The period should appear at the end of the sentence, going from right to left, instead it appears before the sentence begins, at the extreme right.
I tried everything I could think of to make this problem disappear, but with no success. So the program remains useless for Hebrew. Can anyone help? This would be greatly appreciated.
