I start writng an Arabic Document. but the direction was left-to-right. I
tried to change it to right-to-left but with no result. although I added the
two buttons for text direction.

Hi Azimof,

There are a number of factors that can come into play.
You may want to check in the Word International Features
group (link below) and include the version and language
edition of Word and Windows you're working in.

In Start=>Programs=>Microsoft Office Tools
be sure you have an Arabic languages enabled and
also in the Windows Control Panel.  Check also in
the Complex Scripts tab in Word in Tools=>Options
(that tab only appears when an RTL language is enabled)
and set the Right to Left view option.  Also check
the styles in your document to see if they are set
for Left to Right or Right to Left.
