I don't know if we have any Arabic speakers as regulars here but just in case,
let me ask you to supply a little more detail to avoid confusion.

To English speakers, these are what we call Arabic numerals: 1, 2, 3 ... etc.
(as opposed to Roman numerals: I, II, III ...)

I'm guessing that you mean something different.

Confusingly we in the western world who use the Roman alphabet refer to our numerals (1234567890) as Arabic - that is where they originated.
The numerals that the OP is refering to are:

Û± Û² Û³ Û´ Ûµ Û¶ Û· Û¸ Û¹ Û°
(hope these come out OK in an email!)
They are available in Powerpoint by using Insert Symbol and scrolling down until you find the arabic alphabet and numerals.

Thanks, Chris. The examples don't work here but may in web view.

In any case, to save some scrolling, choose Subset: Arabic Extended, which lands you
within a few characters of where the numerals begin.

The chosen font must include the Arabic characters for this to work, of course.

CharMap will show you the unicode numeric code for a character and you can enter it into
Word by typing the code then Alt+X. Pity that this doesn't work in PPT also.
