Default Hebrew / right-to-left text

Dear All,
This is not quite the topic of discussion in this thread but this was
the closest I could find. I've had the same problem in both Word 2003
and 2007 and can't find any information about it. The problem does not
always occur but is frequent enough to be very annoying and I can't
seem to figure out why it happens or doesn't happen:

If I have an existing document of Hebrew text, whether typed or cut-
and-paste from another program, often when I try to insert text by
typing, nothing will appear or be inserted. That is, if I attempt to
type Hebrew characters. If I type non-Hebrew characters (e.g. numbers,
punctuation) in the Hebrew font, or switch to an English font, the
typing inserts as would be expected. If I add a space, then backspace,
I can usually begin typing inserted text. This is not due to Overwrite/
Insert being toggled or anything else I can determine.

Any ideas?
Thank you!
