So far, we haven't had any complaints about it. However, we have had difficulty getting our spelling and grammar checking tools working. We installed character sets for Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic, and French, which students can "switch" between using alt+shift, but the language tools won't function properly. Therefore, students can write in Arabic all they want, but they can't check their work electronically. We are working to resolve it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What are some of the options? Do we need to have the Arabic version of Windows? Is it possible with an english version of Windows as well? We also want to be able to email in Arabic and look at Arabic websites. If you do have the capability to word process in Arabic I would be interested to know how you do it.
