--- Comment #6 from Akram akram_ma@hotmail.com --- I did a clean prefix as follows
setup Win XP 32bit > install Office 2010
Problem remains the same and some apps do not work:
PowerPoint crashes at startup OneNote shows a message cannot continue please install Windows Desktop Experience
I have to install msxml6 and riched30 to correct PowerPoint and OneNote problems. However, Arabic problem remains the same:
Word Arabic is not connected in the right way, typed from left to right and some times it places the last letter of a word in between and connects the letter with broken connection or skipped ones. Also words order is left to right. PowerPoint Arabic is not connected at all. Words order and direction are fine.
If I switch the locale language to Arabic for example ar_YE.UTF-8: Word Arabic is fine but English cursor stays at left and shifts word to right as if it is Arabic resulting word order from right to left and sometimes words are place in between. If you capitalized first word or make the word capitals, words order fine but cursor stays at left and does not move to the last word.
PowerPoint ok everything is fine. One minor problem, Cursor tip at top of the cursor does not change when change language. It should be at right side of the cursor when it is English and at left when it is Arabic
