adding languages? PLEASE HELP!

is there any way i can type in arabic with photoimpact XL?

If you can get the fonts, maybe. Do you have TT fonts that work in your word processor?
Which OS are you using? XP allows for multiple language support. I have typed in greek letters in PI.
Did you ask tech support this question?

Your Operating system determines the language installed.

Install the language in which your document was composed

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure.

To read a document composed in another language, you must have that language installed on your computer. Many languages are already installed with Windows XP. However, if you have a document that contains:
• A complex script or right-to-left language: Arabic, Armenian, Georgian, Hebrew, Indic, Thai, or Vietnamese
• An East Asian language: Chinese, Japanese, or Korean
Follow these steps to install the language you need:
1. Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
2. On the Languages tab, under Supplemental language support, select the check box next to the language group you want to install.
Notes
• To open Regional and Language Options, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional and Language Options.
• To complete the installation of language groups, Windows will restart the computer.
• With multiple languages installed on your computer, you can compose documents that contain more than one language. Recipients of these documents must have the same languages installed on their computer to read or edit the documents.

PI installs in more than a half dozen languages, but not Arabic.

However, you may be able to compose your language in MS Office, then copy and place the phrase into PI as a graphic image.

If you have Arabic fonts installed on your computer, you can use "Charmap" to type in Arabic words.

Go to Start > Run then type "charmap", this will launch the character map program. Select the symbols you will use and on the bottom part there is a space for "Characters to copy". It will then display the characters you have selected. Then click the Copy button. Use the "Paste" function on the "Edit" menu to get this into PhotoImpact.

sorry man. you can't type arabic in PI, in fact since PI does not support Unicode, then there is no way for you to type even in version 10. there are some word processors available out there which allow you to type arabic. I have one for persian.
