Answer:

This option is useful if you wish to have continuous Arabic, Urdu and English text (for example an Urdu and English translation of The Holy Quran). In this case follow these steps-
★ Make a new Right To Left document without automatic text box. If need be make a double sided document.
★ Go to Master Page mode by clicking on the Master Page button. On the master page, make three independent and un-linked text boxes.
★ Change over to the document mode by clicking again on Master Page button. In the document area, you can set fonts for each of the text chain.
★ For the first column, click on the text box by clicking with I-Beam tool and set the font of this text chain by double clicking and setting the font to Trad Arabic font from the Urdu fonts combo box.
★ For the second column, click on the second text box by clicking with I-Beam tool and set the font of this text chain by double clicking and setting the font to Noori Nastaliq font from the Urdu fonts combo box.
★ For the third text box, set the line direction of the paragraph to Left to Right.
★ If required set the justified option to Full Justify for all the three text chains.
★ Now you have the basic infrastructure for entering Arabic text in the first text chain, Urdu text in the second text box and English text in the third text box.
