Type Arabic using your regular keyboard

If you need to type a lot of Arabic you should setup your computer to do so. Although
your keyboard has the regular alphabet on it you can trick the computer in believing that
you are typing on an Arabic keyboard. You just have to tell the computer what keyboard
you are typing on.

1. Go to the Start menu, select Control Panel, and then go to Regional and Language  Options. check the box for install files for complex script and right-to-left languages   (including Thai). Then click apply

 This ensures that when you type in Arabic it will be displayed correctly.

NOTE: you need to click the right justify button to get the cursor to start on the right
hand side of the page!

 2. Go to the Start menu, select Control Panel, and then go to Regional and Language Options. Click on the “advanced” tab and select the language in the first box. Select Arabic (Egypt). 

                                             
3. Go to the Start menu, select Control Panel, and then go to Regional and Language Options. Click on the “languages” tab and then click Details to add different keyboard options  to your computer. Click Add, select Arabic (Egypt) as input language– most commonly used form of  Arabic and select Arabic (102) as Keyboard layout. click OK your new keyboard settings for Arabic should appear in the  window on the left.
                           
Enjoy!
