RE: problems writing in w2k - any help appreciated

2005-01-02 Thread Mostafa Hajizadeh
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?

Cheers,
Mostafa

 dear list members
 
 i've installed persian in w2k (regional settings...) and through microsoft
 office tools, and writing basically works, but it has some bugs, e.g.: a)
 i
 write a word, and at the end of it (on the left) a period - the period
 shows at the beginning (on the right) of the word.  b) i write one word,
 then a left-facing parenthesis, then another word, then a right-facing
 parenthesis - what comes out, though, is one right-facing parenthesis at
 the beginning of the FIRST word, and the other at the beginning of the
 second word. you can observe this in word pad and in excel 2000, in word
 2000 the problems are slightly different. c) if i have 2 words separated
 by
 a comma in excel, and copy/paste this into word, i get the second word
 first, then the first word, and then the comma, which obviously is not
 what
 i want!! etc. etc.
 
 does anyone know how to solve this problem? any help is greatly
 appreciated (i've done all updates on w2k and on office)
 
 thanks in advance, julia
