    ReportBuilder assumes a left to right generation. I think the wordwrapping
    will work, but you'll need to rearrange the text manually after it wraps the
    lines.

    RB's native output is draw commands on page objects. You can fully
    customize the draw commands on each page. You can use the
    OnDrawCommandCreate event of each text control to put all of the memo
    controls for a page in a TList. Then use the Report.OnEndPage event to
    rearrange the text in the draw commands to display from right to left.

    Cheers,
