BulletList in Arabic-> balls on the right side?

Hi, I am struggling with a translated file I have to insert in my Indesign, it is 'simplified Arabic'... at least, I assume it is, because that's what we call the police everything is fine, but there is a paragraph that is so annoying, this is a small list of bullets and is the problem for me, bullets need to go on the right side!

In MS Word (it's how I got the text), it shows well, although a paragraph at least (I planned to make a pdf from word and import, but the output PDF from Word is good, is not ideal to say the least)

Anyway, my question is... How can I put the balls on the right side of the text?

(I use InDesign CS5)

Thanks for any help!

The $99 version would work for you since you are Arab and no need to support CJK. I'm a little surprised, that Joel has not pushed his head here to tell you that if you do not read Arabic you should not be playing with the definition of the type. You can save the text as a PDF from Word and palce as a graphic instead.

Well, it is impossible for someone who is not literate to make look it good, but at least we can help make it readable to the original poster.

The script that you used looks like a very bad idea to me. It defines the default fonts to "Batang", which is a Korean police...? In addition, I am not a genius script, I work at a snail's pace, but it is obvious that the script is planned for CS4, which perhaps explains why it hangs on.

However, it is irrelevant in the long run because if you need your balls to have a hanging indent, there is no way to make a negative withdrawal without InDesign me or tools of world. You can therefore thus abandon and print to PDF & which place. Or a dirty hack: print to PDF, EPS to PDF export, open the EPS file in Illustrator with settings to force the font to describe and then copy & paste Arabic described in InDesign. And then, having your translator proof your job - this step is not optional. If you can not say that your second screenshot is completely unreadable and why, then you entrust must the formatting of this translation to someone who is literate in Arabic, or the less familiar enough with the script to see that the real problem in your screenshot is not bullets.
