You guess right. We use KWord for our text processing and sofar it has been 
quite good.
I would say it works best, also if you use it to convert documents to XML or 
HTML.
Another good point is taht with KOffice you have a whole Office package at 
hand.

You achieve best results when you use KWord with Arial Unicode M$.

As far as I can say, Mozilla has problems with Persian characters! Can you 
type in Peh and Zheh?
