Writing Farsi with a german Word

2004-01-07 Thread Thomas Speck
Hello all

I am trying to enable a colleague (he is persian, but somewhat older and 
not that good with his computer) to write texts in farsi on his computer.

I have installed the multilanguage version of Windows XP, the arabic MUI 
and put farsi into the Eingabegebietsschemaleiste (i am at a loss here 
for the english equivalent).

When I start Word 2003, and change the language to farsi, i can type in 
farsi, but the numerals appear in western typeset.

The same happens with OpenOffice 1.1 and Wordpad.

Is there a way to remove that problem?

As a sidequestion, i heard, that the multilanguageversion of Word 2003 
is quite good, is that true regarding farsi?

Ciao, Thomas Speck

Thanks to all who replied to my question.

C. Bobroffs hint regarding Tools  Options  Complex Scripts  Context 
in Word did the trick, now it works.
