I'll give that a bash, thanks. Just so wierd that Word is all set up to
handle the full arabic number set and alphabet and Excel, where numbers
are more important, can't handle arabic numbers!

As I wrote, it seems to do this with currency if you set the regional settings
to Arabic (first). And then set the currency format in Excel to Arabic.

However, in the few arabic fonts I have on my machine, the arabic numerals are
not in the "number" slot.

I think if you procured an arabic font that had the arabic numerals in the
proper slot, what you want would work properly in all cases.
