MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition, you may have difficulty making the text write from right-to-left if you are using the Arabic Language Kit.

Word has very limited support for Arabic, and does not support bi- directional (bidi) text, (mixing left-to-right and right-to-left text in the same line or paragraph).

NOTE: If you begin writing the text from right to left, and do not change directions, styles, or other character formatting, the text should appear correctly.

Additional query words: incorrect display
