Dropbox StaffThanks for posting on the Community, yoav60!
Is this only happening on Dropbox? How about Word documents you’ve stored outside of your Dropbox account and locally on your computer? Do they appear normal?
Are you seeing this when previewing the files on www.dropbox.com or when you open them online with “Word for the web”?
Is it possible to send a screenshot of what you see?
Keep me posted.
Hi Nancy
Thank you for your reply.
Is this only happening on Dropbox? yes only on Dropbox
How about Word documents you’ve stored outside of your Dropbox account and locally on your computer? Do they appear normal? Yes they appear normal
Are you seeing this when previewing the files on Dropbox.com or when you open them online with “Word for the web”? exactly only when opening the word for the web
Is it possible to send a screenshot of what you see? attached a screenshot of the same document. when i turn to word for the web - it turns to left to right (the first screenshot). I noticed now that the language where the number of words are counted is English although i write in Hebrew...

Hey yoav60, let me jump in here too!
If you try previewing the content using a different browser, do you notice any difference?
Also, does this behavior apply to all of your Word documents, or just some of them?
no difference using a different browser
What I found is that the problem appears only on those documents which includes bullets in them:
- this is a bullet
- this is what i mean😃
