So I'm finally fooling around with typing Arabic on Win2000 when I notice that
correct reordering on RTL/LTR boundaries doesn't appear to be happening in any
application accepting text input.  It appears that in the case of Word, you
have to manually set the block direction.

I have very little experience with Windows, but that leads me to conclude that
there must be a way to manually set the block direction in IE and WordPad as
well.  Any hints?

BTW, sorry for posting this here, but I can't seem to find another forum that
deals with this sort of thing at the moment.  Any pointers would be gratefully
accepted.
