I did a clean prefix as follows

setup Win XP 32bit > install Office 2010

Problem remains the same and some apps do not work:

PowerPoint  crashes at startup
OneNote     shows a message cannot continue please install Windows Desktop 
            Experience

I have to install msxml6 and riched30 to correct PowerPoint and OneNote
problems. However, Arabic problem remains the same:

Word     Arabic is not connected in the right way, typed from left to right and 
         some times it places the last letter of a word in between and connects 
         the letter with broken connection or skipped ones. Also words order is 
         left to right.
PowerPoint Arabic is not connected at all. Words order and direction are fine.

If I switch the locale language to Arabic for example ar_YE.UTF-8:
Word     Arabic is fine but English cursor stays at left and shifts word to 
         right as if it is Arabic resulting word order from right to left and 
         sometimes words are place in between. If you capitalized first word or 
         make the word capitals, words order fine but cursor stays at left and 
         does not move to the last word.

PowerPoint    ok  everything is fine. One minor problem, Cursor tip at top of 
              the cursor does not change when change language. It should be at 
              right side of the cursor when it is English and at left when it 
              is Arabic
