Are you sure you are using a bidi-enabled build of AbiWord? AbiWord has been buildable with and without the bidi support which AbiWord needs for Arabic to work properly. Check where you got it from to see if they have both versions and look for "bidi". In the future Arabic will work with all builds so this problem will go away.
