Subject: Farsi on MS Word Query

Dear fellow list members,
I was hoping someone could advise me on the following.
When trying to create Farsi documents using the Arabic MS Word 97 or Word
2000, I run into problems with the four characters that do not occur in
Arabic.  They don't seem to connect properly, even in the Unicode based
Office 2000.  I found out that people in Iran rely on a variety of add-on
programs to be able to type and process Farsi text.   Does anyone have
experience with this problem?   Is there anyway to avoid the add-on?  If
not, which one is most widely used?
Thanks in advance,

Karin Voets
