How to Use Hebrew Fonts in Word


1. Click on the 'Start' button and navigate to the 'Control Panel.' Select the icon labeled 'Regional and Language Settings.'
2. Click on the 'Languages' tab in the pop-up window. Make sure the box for 'Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages (including Thai)' is checked, and then click on 'Details.'
3. Click on 'Add' under 'Installed services.' Another pop-up window will appear with a drop-down box to select languages. Choose Hebrew. Click on 'Key Settings' to confirm the key strokes that will allow you to toggle back and forth between Hebrew and English (the default is left alt+shift). Click 'Apply' when done.
4. Open Microsoft Word. If you only need to enter a few characters, you may find it simplest to click on the tab labeled 'Insert' on the overhead ribbon, followed by 'Symbol.' Select your Hebrew font in the drop-down box, highlight the desired Hebrew character and click 'Insert.' For anything longer than a word or two, it's easier to use the left alt+shift command and type in Hebrew. Word will automatically correct right-to-left phrases and sentences within an English-language left-to-right document.
