Multilingual User Inteface in  Word 2003

Hello:

I'm trying to configure Microsoft Office Word 2003 so as to be able to type
Hebrew docs.

I use Windows XP Professional Edition

I am able to toggle languages by using the Languge Toolbar. However, the
cursor remains at the left side of the doc and doesnt start at the right
side, as it should for right-->left languages.

I see an MUI  [Multilingual User Interface] setup file in Windows with a
green icon.   I don't think this is the Microsoft Office 2003 MUI though,
but one general to Windows XP.

Would it be advisable to simply run this MUI setup file and see if it
corrects this problem? Or must I get the Microsoft Office 2003 with MUI
software?

Thanks in advance:

-Eli

MUI is not needed for this -- you do not need to change the language of
Office itself to get RTL paragraphs...

Well, the following trick works for me...

And there are more complicated fixes in paragraph level styles. I believe.
