OpenOffice Writer is already set up to let you type any characters that you can enter from your keyboard, including Persian (or Farsi).

You have not told us what operating system you are using, but all operating systems allow you to set up multiple keyboards and to switch between them.

For example, under Windows XP, you go into the Windows Control Panel, select “Regional and Language Options”, select the “Languages” tab, make sure that “Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages (including Thai)” is checked, mouse-press the “Details...” button, mouse-press that “Add...” button, select “Farsi” for “Input language” and “Keyboard layout/IME”. Mouse-press the “OK” buttons to exit.

You may be asked to insert your system DVD.

You will now be able to switch between the Farsi keyboard and your regular keyboard.

You can also download a Persian keyboard from http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~khanban/persian/persian.html .

Other operating systems have similar methods to install extra software keyboards. Check your manual or help files.
