Numbers are written with the most significant digit left-most, just as in European or other left-to-right text. Languages written in left-to-right scripts are often mixed in, so the complete document is bidirectional in nature, a mix of both right-to-left (RTL) and left-to-right (LTR) writing.
Whiteout (Fill Color)	The background color of the field, If set, it will be opaque. It can used to cover the original text and add a new text.
