    That is correct. Distributed alignment uses the spaces in a cell value to spread the text. If there are no spaces it cannot do that. So it fails for a language where one character = one word.

    You can report this from within Excel: Help > Feedback > Report a problem (or Make a suggestion).

      It did not make sense, because, it works at other PCs for same language.
