@rakeshramesh Thank you for additional information. You should specify Font.Bidi property to get the desired output. Please try modifying the code like this:

String a1 = "لتشريعات الرئيسية: القانون(1) رقم(9)لسنة 2007 بإنشاء";

Run r = new Run(wordDoc, a1);
r.getFont().setBidi(true);
p1.appendChild(r);
table1.getRows().get(1).getCells().get(2).appendChild(p1);

Hi Alexey,

but, I am aplying this biDi(true) for all paragraphs in document. using below custom function. It should also work right.

public static void setBidi(Node node,boolean isBidi) {
	switch(node.getNodeType()) {
	case NodeType.PARAGRAPH:
		Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) node;
		paragraph.getParagraphFormat().setBidi(isBidi);
		break;
	case NodeType.TABLE:
		Table table = (Table)node;
		try {
			// Set Bidi for the entire table
			table.setBidi(true);
				//Set Bidi for all paragraphs in the table
							for (Row row : table.getRows()) {
								for (Cell cell : row.getCells()) {
									for (Paragraph para : cell.getParagraphs()) {
										setBidi(para,isBidi);
									}
								}
							}
		} catch (Exception e) {
			LOGGER.error(e);
		}
		break;
	case NodeType.SECTION:
		Section section = (Section) node;
		for (Paragraph secPara : section.getBody().getParagraphs()) {
			setBidi(secPara, isBidi);;
		}
		break;
	default:
	}
}

@rakeshramesh The code sets Bidi property for paragraphs, but does not set Bidi property for Run nodes.

In that case which ever node direct contains string, for those only we have to set IsBidi(true) . is it correct?

@rakeshramesh The only node that can contain text directly in MS Word documents is Run. Please see our documentation to learn more about Aspose.Words Document Object Model:
https://docs.aspose.com/words/java/aspose-words-document-object-model/

Run.Font.Bidi property specifies whether the contents of this run shall have right-to-left characteristics.
Paragraph.ParagraphFormat.Bidi property specifies whether this is a right-to-left paragraph.

Bidi property should be inherited by run and other inline nodes from the parent paragraph unless Run.Font.Bidi property is explicitly set to false. To make sure RTL content is displayed correctly, it is better to set Run.Font.Bidi property to true explicitely.
