I have a Word document.
It has two parts: one English and one Arabic.
The problem is that all the numbers are English numbers [0123456789], but I want the Arabic part's numbers to be Arabic numbers [٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩].
How can I do that in Word 2007 or 2010?
Since I didn't receive any response I created a program that converts English numbers to Arabic and then I use it to convert the numbers in the document. I am still wondering if there is a easier way to do it?
Interesting, because some numbers are in Arabic while some are not!
Try this:
Figure1 - Word Options
Figure2 - Numeral Option
If you still have English numbers, try Arabic instead of Context for Numeral option.
If you still have the same problem, change the font of text to a suitable font like Tahoma. You can find more fonts HERE for download.
I took a document that I created back in November 2010. In Windows Explorer the file properties show:
So we know this file was created and modified then. I opened it in Word 2007 and displayed the properties. This showed the same dates. This shows that the Word properties are the same as the file properties (just in case Word is doing something odd with dates).
I then copied the document and renamed it. In Windows Explorer the file properties show:
Copying a file changes the creation date. It's the date the copy was created. It doesn't change the modification date. So, if the student just copied and renamed the document, it should have had the original modification date.
However, the student may have made the copy by opening the file and saving it with another name. I did that and my new file has these dates.
Note that these dates are the same. This is a new file as far as the file system is concerned, so both the dates are today's date.
Finally I opened the file, made a change, and saved it. This resulted in these dates.
This shows that the file was created on May 11, 2011 at 4:21 PM, and modified about 37 minutes later. Giving the student the fullest benefit of the doubt, she could have created a copy of the document. She would then have to make a change and save it again about 37 minutes later. It's plausible this was done innocently while proofing the document.
It's also possible that the document was started on May 11, 2011 at any time prior to 4:21 PM, first saved at 4:21 PM, and that additional changes were made and it was saved again at 4:58 PM.
If the document was indeed copied from another document, then you can ask the student for that document. It should have the original dates on it.
Finally, it's easy to fake the dates by changing the PC clock.

In Word 2010:
Go to File > Options > Advanced.
Scroll down to the Show document content section - you will find the Numeral option. Set it to Context.
