I want to make a paragraph, right-to-left. I'm using docx module.
I tried:

from docx.enum.text import WD_ALIGN_PARAGRAPH

paragraph = document.add_paragraph()
paragraph.alignment = WD_ALIGN_PARAGRAPH.RIGHT

But it just change the align. How can i edit "right-to-left"?

Have you tried (manually) creating a right-to-left style and then in your code applying that style to the para? – DisappointedByUnaccountableMod Nov 07 '18 at 08:32
**barny** No. How to do it ?? – Sdrf1445 Nov 07 '18 at 16:09
Haven’t the faintest idea. Otherwise I might have added an answer. Must be a way to apply styles in the docx API. Go investigate! – DisappointedByUnaccountableMod Nov 07 '18 at 21:10
**barny** I investigated. But I did not find anything about adding a new style which does not exist in the default template of docx. How to add and define one? – Sdrf1445 Nov 09 '18 at 09:11
Because I did not find any style that changes right-to-left. – Sdrf1445 Nov 09 '18 at 09:17
What I meant was to manually edit the template so you have a style that is right-to-left, then in your code apply the style to a selection. Or go searching for other answers about `word docx rtl` – DisappointedByUnaccountableMod Nov 11 '18 at 09:45
