You might have better chance for an answer if you take this question up with Microsoft the one who produces Word.

Not with Word. Word for Mac has never supported Farsi or any other RTL script. Mellel is the best app for that, but you can also use TextEdit, OpenOffice, Nisus Writer, and many others. Pages is too buggy.

I've got a new problem!!!! I can't download the Mellel or textedit from sourceforge or other sites for downloading Mac softwares. I mean when I click on the download button, it redirects me to a white page and nothing happens. I've tried it also with firefox. Do you have any idea where the problem is?

You don't download TextEdit, it comes with OS X and is in your Applications folder.

You don't download Mellel from sourceforge. You get it here:

The place to get OpenOffice is here:

Let us know if you still have problems.

I told you. there is no difference. sourceforge, macupdate, redlers or porting.openofiice. I can't download these files. when on click on the download button either it blocks on the same page or it opens a new page and nothing happens. sometimes it asks to change the mirror but nothing happens even after changing it.

I assume you did find TextEdit on your machine?

I have no problem downloading anything, and I don't know why it would not work for you. Perhaps you should start a new topic with a subject like "Browsers won't download any apps" and see if someone has an idea of what could be causing that.

You might also try an additional browser like Opera or Chrome.

oh yeah. first of all thanks for reminding me of the place of textedit. and secondly you know what? I tried the opera and finally I could install the two softwares!!!!!!!
but it's bizarre that I can't do the same thing with safari or firefox. maybe I should listen to your suggestion and start a new subject. thanks for all your helps.
