I have copyed Arabic words from an email into Word but they get displayed in
some other language. However when I paste the same words (see example below)
into Word Help or into a search engine it gets displayed correctly. Go

Hi =?Utf-8?B?dGltMDA3?=,

This could be because the font used in the Word document doesn't support these
characters. Try a new document, and format it with "Arial". Now if you paste in
the Arabic text do you see anything different? (Note: it can only be "correct"
if you have Asian language support with right-to-left editing installed and
enabled. You may need to ask in the word.international.features newsgroup.)
