Thanks 'JL',
Yes, I do agree with you on the extension with the 'Numeric Too' parameter.
But could this be possible soon; I'm off schedule with some huge works and
would appreciate it very much if there's a 'patch' or script for this so
that I could get most of my headaches gone with the numerous reversing of
text manually. (Although I've attained the solution on MS Access, I still
have to work on Python with my algorithm - so can't directly work on
Scribus.)
Right now am working on my database and export the text with the numeric
reversed and keeping the rest intact. But my workflow doesn't always get
started from the database and have to key-in directly into Scribus too. You
can imagine the headaches - I guess.
