Dear Haruko,

Please, check Universal Word 2000, download a free Demo,
and check it out:

Under "Tools," go to "Keyboard," when you get the virtual Arabic
Keyboard, try under the "Shift" key too.

AFAIK the only system capable to do this, and more, is my own  
development
'ArabTeX' which covers not only Arabic with all writing variants and
many ligatures, but also Farsi, Urdu, Pashto, Kashmiri, Uighuric, and
even Sindhi and Old Malay in the extended Perso-Arabic script.

For more info, see:
	ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/arabtex.htm

However be warned: this is not a WYSIWYG word processor but an extension
of the typesetting system TeX, which is available on all platforms I  
know.
The target users are Orientalists who need the special features.
TeX and ArabTeX are free software, special hardware is not required.
