Word, hebrew

Hello,
I have moved to Israel and I am trying to use Word in Hebrew. I have figured out how to write in Hebrew but the Curser is not writing in the right direction, that is, it is always on the right part and it is not moving with the text (i hebrew we write from right to left).
Another problem is the spell check. I have converted the language to hebrew on the document but when I try to check the spelling I get - "spelling check ok".
Thanks a lot!!!

Since Word is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum.

Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered

MS Office for Mac does not support Hebrew. You need to use another app. Likewise OS X does not include a Hebrew spell checker yet. You need to use CocoAspell or HSpell
