	You can import the Word text as an OLE object or use the IMAGEATTACH command in AutoCAD to get the lettering into your drawing?

	Hello, Aliadin we are using arabic fonts named : AKHBR.TTF and AKHBRBD.TTF on our DWG drawings ( only for making tittle blocks ) and it works. Previously we use to "draw" our text with lines but it's difficult. I can upload examples on request butt you will have to get those fonts and paste them at least in (C)\WINDOWS\Fonts ( I have them also in : (C)\Program files\Autocad 2008\Fonts ).
