What language are we talking about? If we are talking about a BiDi 
Office (Hebrew or Arabic), I am not sure how Word will display the 
direction indicator. Like I told Hetz, I am pretty early in the process. 
I'm currently at the Text output functions, and things like "Word" are a 
bit in the future for me.

I don't know how and if Word needs to know about non-BiDi languages.

follow the link, and add your email address under the "add CC:" field 
(top right).

p.s.
If your language is Arabic, I need help from an Arabic speaker. I need 
to model the Windows BiDi algorythm (as opposed to the Unicode BiDi 
algorythm), so I need someone with Arabic experience to ask some questions.
