Does Word 2000 allow TRUE typing from right to left? ie,
the cursor moves to the left of the previous letter
typed. (Simply setting the allignment to the right does
not achieve this). I want to be able to type hebrew from
right to left, but not have to start at the END of the
sentence. Does anyone know?

Yup Look up "right to left" or "Hebrew" in Word's Help. If the operating
system supports bidirectional text editing, then Word 2000 (or later) will
too.
