Dear Julia, It seems that your problems are all about left-to-right and right-to-left order of texts.
I think that you can solve it easily by turning on the RTL feature of Windows and Office. I don't remember exactly what you must change. (I don't have Windows and Office now.) You may find it under the "Middle East" or "Arabic" terms. After enabling these features, its necessary to "use" them. For instace, in Word you must change you paragraphs to right-to-left paragraphs. OK?
