idRTL for Indesign CS4 is a great product but it's good to know its limitations. Here we will outline features that exist in ME version of Indesign that we did not implement.
- Free bundled Hebrew and Arabic Open Type Fonts.
- Hyphenation Rules for Middle Eastern Languages.
- Spell Checking Dictionary for Middle Eastern Languages.
- Full integration into Indesign.
- Story Direction - integrated into Story Panel
- Paragraph Direction - integrated into Paragraph Panel
- Character Direction - integrated into Character Panel
- Table Direction - integrated into Table Panel
- Right To Left Tools - which create Text Frame or Text on a Path initially with Right-To-Left Direction.
- and many more shortcuts fully integrated into Indesign
- Object Style Dialog includes Story Direction, and even when setting Story Direction with Scripting it is ignored in non ME version of Indesign.
- Visual Cursor - using left and right arrows on keyboard move cursor the same direction as cursor moves on screen.
- The ability to Force neutral Characters to be Right-To-Left to Left-To-Right.
- The Reverse Layout function - to reverse layout of complete document at one time.
- Story Editor doesn't support right to left text.
- There are probably more but this what I got in my first look at the ME version.
