------------------
We installed Windows 2000 Professional and Office 2000 with Arabic and typing
right to left works. However, there seems to be a few bugs but I'm not sure if the
fault lies with the image we created and export to the computers. There's an
interesting article on Window 2000 Professional, you might want to read.  I think
someone on the listserv may pointed me to it. Its worthwhile reading:
