Before starting anything, keep one thing in mind that this title is used just to bring you here, this post covers much wider areas. Means that after this tutorial, you will be able to write in Urdu, not only in Office but in other programs as well. You name the software and I am sure that it will work there too.
We are more familiar with the usage of MS-Office or Kingsoft-Office, than Inpage Urdu or any related software. So it would be nice if we can use our own language without learning the new software. Remember the post where I have told you about how to write in your native language in your browser? Well this post in an advanced version of the previous one. Taking you one step ahead the browser and moving to your operating system softwares. No effort is needed from your side as I have already covered this for you :)
