As Tony noted, line breaks will be a problem -- but also, if there's
more than one word, will it reverse each word independently, or do you
need to type your whole clause backward, last-word-first?
This would of course be most useful to make up for the most glaring
omission in Word's editing tools since the very beginning (since lots
of other DTP apps have it) -- "transpose two characters"!

IF you're using a Hebrew font that just puts the letters in the a-z, A-Z
etc. slots, then yes, you have to type backwards.
If the font requires that the text is typed backwards (and I hasted to add I
have no knowledge of right left languages) that can easily be fixed with a
macro that will reverse the order of selected text eg
Sub ReverseCharacters()
Dim sText As String
sText = Selection.Range.Text
If Len(sText) 2 Then
* * MsgBox "You must select at least 2 characters!", _
* * vbCritical, "Reverse Characters"
* * Exit Sub
End If
For i = Len(sText) To 1 Step -1
* * Selection.TypeText Mid(sText, i, 1)
Next i
End Sub
