Right-to-left scripts in Microsoft Office Bob Hallissy, 2003-12-05; 12495 reads

The ability to display right-to-left (RTL) and other complex scripts is built into the standard editions of Microsoft Office since Office 2000. Additionally, the ability to handle RTL scripts is not dependent on underlying Windows support, so it works even on English editions of Windows 9x. All of this is a significant change from previous Office products for which Microsoft made customized editions of the applications for different areas of the world.

This document template provides helpful hints on use of RTL scripts in Word 2000, Word 2002 and Word 2003. Included are general instructions for getting such scripts to work correctly, known bugs and weaknesses, and various tips and tricks. There are also some macros that may be helpful when working with RTL scripts.

Although written primarily for users of Arabic Based Scripts (ABS), users of other RTL scripts such as Hebrew will find the material helpful.
