On windows xp I have some arabic language displayed on some of the options
tabs in windows and the text in the start menu is in aa different language as
well. How can I get this back into english. This happened within the last
week.

No that didn't work...All my settings are set to English. I see that someone
else had this problem as well. I still need help.

I bought recently a laptop in Dubai with Arabic language settings Changed
all to English, but still have problem with MS Office. Text starts from right
to left. Don't know how to correct this. Who can help??

Changing to left-to-right is as simple as this (from a Google post):

- Right click the toolbar and choose customize
- Select the 'Commands' tab
- Select the format category
- Scroll down in the commands list until you find the 'Left-to-right'
and 'Right-to-left' options.
- Now you can drag and drop these options somewhere on a toolbar for
easy access and change of writing direction.

Save the changes as the Normal.dot template and that might correct the
default direction.

Look for other discussions on the problem with these Google Groups
