Default Can't Display Hebrew Letters

Thank you for your response. I am using Windows Vista Home edition. When I
go to the control panel and then to regional and language options, I see a
"keyboard and languages" tab and I click on that, then I click on "change
keyboard" and in the "general tab" I click on "add" then I chose "Hebrew
(Israel)" and check-marked "Hebrew".

I believe the font is something called BWHEBB (WP Hebrew David) but that was
TTF file that I pasted into the Font folder. Prior to that I didn't have any
Hebrew font in my Office 2007 Home and Student Edition.

With those TTF files pasted in, now when I click on fonts in Word 2007, I
can see Hebrew letterings but the letters in the Word document remain
unchanged, they are still gobbledegook. I am pasting an example here for you
to see - 1) dbeK' (Käbëd): literally to be heavy. Instead of Hebrew
letters what I have, as you can see, is a dbek'. How do I install the right
Hebrew font? I have since deleted those TTF files that I pasted into the
Font folder.

Thank you.

What font is the Hebrew in? Is that font installed on your computer?
If not, select the Hebrew and change its font to Arial Unicode or
Times New Roman. Does it look right now?

Do you have the "Hebrew keyboard" turned on in Windows? (Start
Control Panel Regional and Language Options Language Add
Keyboard)

Thanks.
