Subject:Arabic support on Mac

I'd hoped the latest release of MSOffice for Mac would work with  
Arabic.  I went to an Apple store and found out that it still does  
not. It is most annoying that neither Apple nor MS are stepping up to  
make sure their work works.

For people doing Arabic on a Mac, it is possible to get a free  
NeoOffice suite, which does work well with Arabic, and allows for  
document exchange between MSOffice and NeoOffice.  The site is at: www.neooffice.org 
.
