Copy paste turns out back to front

I am trying to copy a hebrew document from a site to notepad, but the writing comes out Back to Front...like "kcaB ot tnorF".
I fiddled around with the right click->encoding list and tryed copying it to different things (word, notepad etc.) but didn't manage, any more tips?

This sounds like virus activity, or some really dodgy coding somewhere.

I suggest formatting and reinstalling Windows considering you have had so much problems with it lately

Hebrew is a back to front language, if you don't know.

This is the only place it happens though, any other hebrew copies fine.

Does Notepad support right-to-left text? Are you able, for example, to type in Hebrew normally using notepad?

Yes, it does. All unicode supporting programs can do back to front languages.

My suggestion is that you try Wordpad or MS Word instead. I think Notepad is too literal with Windows clipboard information.

For the entire thing or just each word? I don't know Hebrew, so I didn't think of that.

In hebrew you write right to left.

For the entire thing, example:
.yadot gniniar ton s'tI
