Default How do I make Arabic text right-to-left direction?

In XP, if you select the Arabic IME from the Status Bar, it gives you
properly ligated Arabic using whatever the system's Arabic font may be
(and then you can select the text and change it to whichever better-
looking Arabic font you prefer; you can also set your default font in
the "Complex Scripts" part of the Format | Font panel). It doesn't
seem like the sort of thing that would have changed much in Vista.

Hi Adenovo,

If you have enabled one of the Arabic language choices for Office 2007
*(in Word you can use
*Office Files Button=Word Options=Popular=Language settings )
there should then be a right to left button in the paragraph group of the on the Home tab in Word after you restart Word.

In the Windows control panel you may also need to implement the Arabic/Complex Script support for your PC if you see (Limited
Support) in the Office 2007 Languge settings dialog for 'Arabic'.

My computer (Vista, Word 07) is in English.
In an English document, I'm putting in a few lines in Arabic.
How do I might them go from right-to-left?

Thanks!
