MS Word 2013 in ar_YE.UTF-8 locale

I did a clean prefix as follows

created Win 7 32bit

Then installed from WineTricks: Core Fonts, Tahoma Font, msxml6, riched20,
usp10

and Added reg key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Wine\\Direct3D]
"MaxVersionGL"=dword:00030002

Then installed Office 2013 Pro (Arabic Version)

Installation went fine with one minor problem: I cannot customize installation.
Once I hit the down arrow to show drop down menu to customize which component
to choose from. Once I hit to show, it drops down and disappear in half a
second. 

I was able to run all programs except:
OneNote     shows a message cannot continue please install Windows Desktop 
            Experience
Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook run fine so far.

One major problem with all running applications is Arabic representation:

Word     Arabic letters are not connected at all and are typed from left to 
         right as if English.
Others   Other apps type Arabic in the right way with no problem.
All      Arabic letters are not connected in main menu and sub menus in all
         apps. Letter are typed from right to left correctly but not connected

If I switch the locale language to Arabic for example ar_YE.UTF-8:
Word     Arabic letters are still not connected but word direction is fine 
         (rtl); however, English is typed from right to left
Others   Other apps work fine.
All      Menus still have the same problem


I attached a picture of Word 2013 in ar_YE.UTF-8 locale. English words (This is
a book) are type backward, and All Arabic letters are not connected, although
some tips boxes and sub sub menus are fine.
