Writing Urdu in Microsoft Office (Original Nastaleeq)

Have you ever thought of writing Urdu in your native word processor? Obviously! Who wouldn't love to write Urdu in his/her own native Microsoft Office Applications... Well, now you can! Many solutions have been provided by different websites all over the web, but none comes to the standards. A sample image of how Urdu written in Microsoft Word 2010 looks:


Likewise, Urdu can also be written in other applications such as Power Point, Excel and even Access. Yes, it is now very easy to have urdu based spreadsheets, and even presentations in Urdu. But in most of the solutions given on the net, the style of Urdu language, like that shown in the screen shot above is absent, and the standard Arabic style is adopted for writing Urdu. Well that's not cool! But after reading this post, you will be able to write Urdu as shown above in your Microsoft Word, Excel, and any other Microsoft Application! You will even be able to send and receive Urdu Emails, and read the urdu news paper at the NawaiWaqt website! This technique will work in any version of Microsoft Office, be it 2010, 2007, 2003, or even 2000!
