Writing Urdu

[Legal Eye]

Hello all,

I need the word "shaadi" written in urdu in MS Word, but cannot find a way to do this. Does anyone else know how to do it, or could someone do it and email me?

Thanks

I think an Urdu keyboard is available in the languages forum.

You can use google translator for quick conversion of Roman Urdu script into original urdu script.
Just select source as urdu Alpha.

Alternatively you can type directly in Urdu script here:

Actually I suggest to forum developers that, if possible, they should add (as a reply/posting editor) the simple editor from

http://translate.google.com/ (select Urdu Alpha).

The reason is that it is so easy and quick to type in Urdu using this editor. You type in roman script and the completed words are automatically converted into urdu script.
