The Spread component can support right-to-left layouts. Right-to-left features support applications where the language is written from right to left, such as Hebrew, Arabic, or Farsi, so the user interface would be displayed naturally with right-to-left orientation.

Most of the right-to-left functionality for the Spread component is inherited from the underlying .NET framework, but there are a few properties that can be set to instruct Spread to display the layout right-to-left. Currently these aspects of the layout are changed with the right to left support:

• cell editing
• column resizing on right instead of left
• direction attribute in HTML export
• filter and sort indicators
• order of columns
• popup and sticky notes and cell note indicators
• scroll bars
• shapes
• sheet corners
• sheet name tabs
• viewport columns

The members that are used with right-to-left support include:
