## PageSetup.bidi property

Specifies that this section contains bidirectional (complex scripts) text.


```python
@property
def bidi(self) -> bool:
    ...

@bidi.setter
def bidi(self, value: bool):
    ...

```

### Remarks

When ``True``, the columns in this section are laid out from right to left.




### Examples

Shows how to set the order of text columns in a section.

```python
doc = aw.Document()
page_setup = doc.sections[0].page_setup
page_setup.text_columns.set_count(3)
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
builder.write('Column 1.')
builder.insert_break(aw.BreakType.COLUMN_BREAK)
builder.write('Column 2.')
builder.insert_break(aw.BreakType.COLUMN_BREAK)
builder.write('Column 3.')
# Set the "Bidi" property to "true" to arrange the columns starting from the page's right side.
# The order of the columns will match the direction of the right-to-left text.
# Set the "Bidi" property to "false" to arrange the columns starting from the page's left side.
# The order of the columns will match the direction of the left-to-right text.
page_setup.bidi = reverse_columns
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'PageSetup.Bidi.docx')
```
