Thanks Arash, I sure have tried KWord. As for Farsi I think it's better than those Farsi word processors out there. But KWork has many bugs specially for HTML editing. As for OO.org I was waiting for Farsi support and if the support is as good as KWord it should do it for me! Also as for the project I suggest, I meant a multi-platform tool but on second thought personal I prefer to have Farsi in the office products I use rather than a seperate program.
