Colleagues,

I have a faculty member who would like to be able to use Arabic in Word
for a pc running Windows 2000.  She wants to be able to type in Arabic
using an on-screen keyboard display where she chooses characters on
screen with the mouse.  Is she better off sticking with Windows 2000 or
should she upgrade to Windows XP?  Also, if anyone has an
recommendations on keyboards/font systems to download for this, please
let me know.

Thanks, Donnie
