Default Right-to-left (Hebrew) tables in English Word?

I have an RTF file that contains mostly Hebrew, so the \rtldoc tag is
specified early on ("This document will be formatted to have Arabic-style
pagination") and then contains several tables which specify \taprtl ("Table
direction is right to left") and \rtlrow ("Cells in this table row will have
right-to-left precedence").

On my English Windows XP Pro system, I have enabled "Install files for
complex script and right-to-left languages" and installed Hebrew as an
"Installed service" on the "Text Services and Input Languages" dialog.

When I load the RTF file into my Word, the characters appear correctly in
Hebrew, and the Hebrew text is correctly right-to-left, but the columns are
not in the correct order (the column specified first in the RTF file, which
should be the right-most column, is instead left-most).

Am I expecting too much of my English version of Word? Is there just no way
to have English Word properly display Hebrew RTF files?

Thanks,
Chris
