Anyway, I'm CC'ing this to our mailing list maybe someone with the knowledge
can help.
Make sure that arabic keyboard layout is installed on your desktop. 1. Preference Pane -> International -> Input Menu 2. Activate Arabic input menu
Start OpenOffice 1.1.2 (I downloaded the english version of OpenOffice 1.1.2 for Mac). If you could change the input menu on upper menu (your locale flag icon), then your application is ready for another input menu/keyboard layout. Make sure your OpenOffice is capable of CTL (complex text layout) via Tools -> Language -> CTL
On my OpenOffice 1.1.2 menu, I can change US flag to green crescent moon (arabic input menu). And then I type arabic onto OpenOffice Writer.
