Thanks to all for your comments on the problem of copying a Hebrew phrase from Adobe to Word.
The Hebrew phrase is מהלך חמה הבינוני בשנים מחוברות ופרוטות וחדשים
I have had another look at the problem, with these results.
Copy from Adobe Acrobat 6 (with Select text):
Paste into Word as rtf - words in the correct order, but reversal within each word
Paste into Word using Paste special and unformatted unicode -word order reversed, as well as reversal within each word
Copy from Adobe Reader X:
Paste int Word as rtf - word order reversed, but characters not reversed within each word
Paste into Word using Paste special and unformatted unicode - everything correct.
Clearly my old Adobe Acrobat 6 is not up to the job, while the latest reader is, provided Paste Special is used.
There are options within Word options/Advanced/Cut Copy Paste, but a choice of non-default options has no bearing on the issue.
Regards
Raymond Mercier
