Text overflows incorrectly...
IE docs include the following named entities you might try:
‎ left-to-right
‏ right-to-left
Then you can use the DIR attribute on an enclosing tag, like
<SPAN DIR="rtl">word1 word2</SPAN>
or on the BDO tag:
<BDO DIR="rtl">word1...</BDO>
I have never tried those, so I can not garantee they work (but they are
documented in the IE docs).
Otherwise, you can replace your spaces with , so that the text won't
be wrapped.
