Hello

There is a free utility program named Reverse, which reverses automaticaly
the strings. As this is a World Script aware program, you could use it
with Hebrew script, I think. The download page is:
<http://www.geomtech.com/~rminer/reverser/>

DTP program Ready-Set-Go! Global supports *all* the languages kits of Mac
OS. It costs more than 800 USD, but might be worth trying since this is
not a mere "extension" but a whole program package. You can read its
features and download a demo at:
<http://www.diwan.com/ready/prsg.htm>

As I don't know Hebrew nor DTP things, I'm not sure whether this meets
your needs
or not.

Hope this helps

  I use Nisus with both scripts and Quark with ArabicXT.

  Layout S.A.L is a Lebanese company that wrote ArabicXT.  See their
web site for a software update and for the email address of the support
team. [Aramedia is one of the US distributors]

  The one time I asked for help [installing on a recent system], they sent
me a software update that fixed it.

  If your problem has no solution within Quark, would you consider
creating an EPS with Nisus and importing it into the Quark document?

Are you familiar with al-Nashir al-Sahafi from Diwan Software?
Try downloading their demo version. It works just like QuarkXpress. You can
have Arabic, Hebrew and English in the same word, line and paragraph.
Address is: diwan.com

Microsoft Publisher has been enabled for Complex scripts in the coming
version. I am happy to work with anyone who has a real world issue in mixing
languages that needs to publish.

The official release is scheduled for March. However, I can work with some
people as beta testers. If you are interested, please contact me directly.

Mixing Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, and any
other languages supported by Microsoft Windows 2000 is easily handled in
Publisher (the beauty of Unicode at work).
