I subscribed for Office 365 and I have a Mac at home, only to see that it doesn't support Arabic at all. Apple native office products such as Pages do support Arabic, so i don't really see why Microsoft can't support Arabic. This have been going for years, without a major attention from Microsoft to this issue. For formulas to show results, select them, press F2, and then press Enter. If you need to, you can adjust the column widths to see all the data. Returns an Arabic number based on the Roman number LVII (57). Returns an Arabic number based on a Roman number in cell A6 (1912).
