Dear Fellows,
I installed windows 7 on mac BookPro urilizing Boot Camp. I added the Arabic langauge as a second language to be used in the keyboard from regional seeting, etrc.
The problem I have is that any software (word, excel, powerpoint) and web browesering took the Arabic keyboard as its default. I tried the Alt+Shift (left side), it did not work.
Is there any way to work with the keyboard using Alt+Shift (left and right ones) to easliy switch between English vs. Arabic languages.
Thank you in advance.;)

One of the problems with that scenario is that Office for the Mac as an example, does not support "Right to Left" insertion. You would be better off using a Word Processor that supports "Right to Left". Take a look at "Mellel" for the Mac. Also, I suggest using an Arabic overlay for the keyboard rather than use the on screen option.
