Hi David,

Sorry about the delay. I am hopeful that the issue was fixed. If not, I would request if you could elaborate your query. You may also refer to this help article for typing ME languages. 

• First you need to install ME version: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/access-install-hebrew-arabic-indesign-illustrator-CC.html
• Then refer to this help article for Arabic features: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/arabic-hebrew.html

Please update the discussion if the issue is resolved or if you have any further query.

Regards,

Srishti

You need a Middle Eastern version to support the Arabic language. Do you have Adobe CC subscription to access any of the latest versions? If not, we cannot do much since CS6 is an old version and there is no CS6 ME version to download from Adobe site.

Dear Abrar,

The screenshot you placed here shows you can type Arabic, but perhaps you don't have the Middle Eastern version.

Please explain with details in Arabic or English what are you experiencing when you type Arabic.
