I just tried it in Word 2000. It works perfectly. You just have to
know that the selected character is not identified in the Insert
Symbol dialog box, but in the status bar at the bottom of the Word
window.
Of course, there is still the problem that Word 2000 doesn't always
handle Arabic letter reshaping properly when inserting from Character
Map. As far as I can tell, at worst you have to enter the text, save,
close, and reopen the file to get proper shaping behavior.
