I was trying my best to get my Arabic text into Xtreme as a vector but not as text.
I don't have Corel draw etc and can't afford it if I wanted it anyway.

This seemed to work:

1• While in MS Word; copy text to the clipboard.
2• Open up an OpenOffice drawing document (free from OpenOffice.org)
3• [Special Paste] you text as [Formatted text (RTF)]
4• Export the selection as a PDF file. You don't need to worry about converting text to shape.

Xara doesn't support Semitic text etc. yet and I don't use Arabic that much anyway so this method is OK.
It would not be ideal for those who always type in Arabic etc.
