Troubleshooting common issues
- Installation fails: Ensure you have the correct 64-bit installer matching your Office build; run the installer as administrator; check for pending Windows updates; temporarily disable antivirus if it blocks the installer.
- Language not showing in Office: Confirm the language is added in File > Options > Language and that Arabic is installed for both display and authoring; restart Office and, if necessary, repair the Office installation via Control Panel or Settings.
- Proofing tools missing: Some proofing features depend on specific Office editions or additional downloads; re-run the language pack installer or download the proofing tools package separately from Microsoft.
- RTL layout problems: Make sure Windows input language is set to Arabic and that the document’s paragraph direction is set to RTL.
