I would advise using the Saudi keyboard as one of them if you are
planning on using Arabic-enabled applications. MS Office 2000 won't
detect spelling for Arabic text if you don't have (or have not
installed) the Saudi keyboard. Hopefully they've fixed this in Office
XP, but I haven't yet tried it out. That aside, all of the regional
keyboards I have used (Saudi, Lebanese, Egyptian, Syrian) have all had
the same layout as far as I can tell.

Hello Elizabeth!
Have you looked into some software? I know of ParsNagar II (just look
it up) which is exactly like Word, but arabic. You can even create
websites with it!...this could save you lots of money...

Good luck!

Dear Elizabeth J. Pyatt ,

There are many Arabic keyboard in the market most of them come from
China and Taiwan. These keyboards support Engkish and Arabi, by the
way if you have Window (2 thousnads it alos support Arabic) Therefore
no need for special software for the keyboard. You may contact
:Celeron Company of P.C or you may consult Computer Company sites in
China or Taiwan or even in Arab countries.
Hopefully the above themes may help you.
Thank you and good luck

unitype global writer 98--100 language word processor, available from
Transparent Language, uses a phonetic qwerty keyboard for Arabic.
It is very ease to use: Ar.  /r/  =Eng. /r/;  Ar. /l/  =  Eng. /l/, etc.,
etc.
