MS Word 2016 for OS X Preview: Still No RTL Support, but Indic Yes
I did a quick test with the preview of the new Word 2016 for Mac which was released by Microsoft March 6. Arabic input was not connected and the characters ran in the wrong direction. So it looks like the long-requested support for RTL text is still missing.
On the other hand, support for Indic scripts looks much improved: Hindi conjuncts and vowel reordering were displayed correctly, which has not been the case in earlier versions.
Comments from readers who are able to give this app more thorough tests would be most welcome.
