Smartform for Arabic customer showing as right-justified

Hi All,

I am printing out a dunning letter for a customer who has Arabic set as their language in the customer master record.  The letter is showing as right-justified which is incorrect as the letter is in the English language.  We don't want to translate this letter into Arabic, we want to send it in English.  So, how do I make the letter left-justified?

I have tried defaulting the customer's language in XD01/2 to English, but this doesn't work as it keeps changing back when I press save.  The user exit I'm using doesn't 'hold' the change I've made to the language field.

I've also tried defaulting the field CONTROL_PARAMETERS-LANGU in the smartform itself, but this doesn't work either.

So I figured the best way of resolving this is to change the settings for the Arabic language, but I don't know how to do this.  I'm open to any other ideas.

Thanks in advance.
