...As far as I can tell, there is no support for these scripts either in current versions of Mac Office or in the promised new one.
Aren't some RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew already covered at least partially by legacy Mac OS character sets? Is it possible to display such characters in any current version of M$ Office for Mac? If so, is the reading direction correct?
It strikes me that some people are reading the announcement as if it is what they want to hear, rather than what it actually says. If this was the great step forward that everyone wants, surely Microsoft would be telling everyone loud and clear. They are of course saying that their new product is wonderful and what everyone is waiting for (who wouldn't?), but when you read the small print they are promising rather little, certainly not full Unicode support, not even full support for non-complex scripts.
