I have Windows 2000 (UK) and want to create document with mixture of Arabic and English text

[A_Newsreader]

Please help.

I have W2K, SP3. I also have Word 2000.

I'm currently learning Arabic in school and want to put my course
notes onto computer using Word when I get back home.

I want to be able to put my notes into tables, change font sizes
(Arabic font sizes that is as well as English) etc etc. All the usual
stuff that I can do in English only this time in a mixture of English
and Arabic.

Do I have all that I need or will I have to buy a different version of
W2k and or Word to achieve what I want ??

I'm still on my course (not at my own computer) so cannot tell yet
what the score will be.

Please advise.

Many thanks.

Go to the Regional Control panel and add the "locales" you
wish -- you can also setup the "shortcut keys" and/or the "tool tray
icon" so that you can change input/output languages without
opening the control panel each time.

With shortcut/hot keys it becomes reasonably convenient
to type even multilanguage documents.

(You will likely need the CDROM or Windows installation
point the first time but once installed you can switch any time.)
