SBL Hebrew in an MSWord Doc

Dan Starcevich

I am using MSWord for Mac 16.10 and High Sierra OS.

I frequently copy hebrew words and phrases out of logos and paste it into a word document that contains both english and SBL hebrew fonts.  However, when I do this I find that MSWord is reversing the order of the hebrew letters and phrases.  

There must be something in system or MSWord preferences to resolve this but I sure don't see it.

Anyone know the special incantation to resolve this?

Thanks!

Try using Ezra SIL font—MS Word for Mac does not play well with SBL Hebrew. Before Word 2016 SBL Hebrew was not even listed as a choice. When I changed a word from Ezra to SBL Hebrew, the size decreased dramatically, but the character order did remain RTL.
