Dear Paul,

perhaps you know me from some ICEMCO meetings in UK in the 90ties!?

If you want to stop anger I would recommend to use a quite different Office
package, e.g.: LibreOffice version 4.2.2

http://www.libreoffice.org/

With its wordprocessor WRITE I write German, English Arabic, Hebrew and
Umschrift (transliteration of Semitic languages)!


Or if you prefere another free Office : Apache Open Office 4.0.1

http://www.openoffice.org/

So change to a better software and cheer up,

Gerhard Wedel, Berlin - Germany

P.S. By the way I also use WIN 7 and hope never to change to "playmobile"
WIN 8 which dearnges all serious Academics to work!

I know this doesn't solve the problem, but have you tried using Google
drive? I started using it for Arabic and never stopped. It is simple and it
works well. I think it will even spell check if you switch the language to
Arabic.

Best,
Virginia Vassar Aggrey
