I am having a hard time with another RTF string for a complex language. This time I am trying to write the number "100,000" in an Arabic document. When I save to RTF and then re-open the document in Word, the numbers visually switch order, and I see "000,100". The RTF seems to be correct in all respects - and WordPad displays it fine. Is this a Word bug? Should this RTF be written in some other way? Please help.
