Hebrew font on Word for Office X

[yaffa]

I would like to be able to use Hebrew font on my Word program, however
I am unsure as to how to do so. I do not have the origional Office
disks as I downloaded the program from the disks of someone who could
allow three registered users, me being the third. Does anyone know
how I could load Hebrew onto my word program? You may reach me at

Thank you!

You can't use Hebrew in Word X. Even in Word 2004, which does allow using
the Unicode fonts for Hebrew characters, all you can do is insert one
character at a time because it does not do right-to-left languages a. You
need to use another, but compatible, word processor such as Mellel (if
TextEdit isn't good enough for your purposes, of course). I believe you can
save in a Word document format, or RTF, which will let you read and even
"tinker" in Word 2004 and in Word Windows. I suspect even Word X can read
these documents - you'll have to see.
