I think Muhammad is referring to the numbers used in the Arabic speaking world - ٠١٢ ٣‎٤٥٦٧٨٩‎ (0 - 9 in our script).

Muhammad, do you mean the file names, or numbers in the documents?

I cannot replicate this. I uploaded a Word document with the number in it, and it opened correctly in Word Online. Is this what you were doing, or was it a different problem?

    I'm sorry I don't know why this happens. I wonder if it has something to do with language settings in SharePoint or Office, or somewhere else, and the keyboard settings also. Strange it would change the numbers, not the Arabic letters.
